Greetings from the Howdy Farm, everyone. This week was my first week back on the farm since December, and it was long awaited. This week also officially started my internship on the farm. This semester there are several projects I'll be working on, but there is one in particular that I will be blogging about in greatest detail as the semester goes on. 
     This project will be the total renovation of one of our raised beds. Essentially what we'll be doing is taking a space that has long set unused, and installing a new irrigation system, creating a walkway through it in order to access it more easily, and finally, prepping the soil and planting some new crops in it. This will be pretty close to a semester long project that will be primarily under the supervision of another intern. Below I've included some photos of what the bed looks like for the time being before we start work on it. 
     Aside from the major projects, yesterday was a fantastic day out at the farm. We not only had a fair sized harvest after the last few weeks of deep freezes, but we're making major headway into prepping old beds for Spring planting. I look forward to keeping everyone up to date with the weekly goings-on at the farm for the rest of the semester. Until next week!
