This delightful Wednesday morning was spent in hoop house number three. Three beds are complete, and hopefully this week we'll finish up the final one on the north side. That bed is slightly different, there's a bigger path between that bed and the adjacent one and it's not dug, its instead built extra high. I'm not entirely sure if there's reasons other than maximizing the amount of sunlight it gets. I'll try to remember to ask someone.

Sink Installation is still underway.

It's supposed to be sunny tomorrow, and they might try to get the plastic up on one of the uncompleted greenhouses. I'll explain this a bit more; Riverview set a goal to build ten hoop houses a year for at least three years. so far this year we have the metal frames and hoops of ten set up, but only three of them have plastic over them and are warm enough for stuff to be grown in them. And of those three, only two of them are actually planted. It's kind of an experimental year. We're figuring out what grows what doesn't, even though the idea is that hoop houses keep everything warm, some nights it still sinks lower than we'd like in temperature. So we need pretty hardy plants. The most resilient plants so far are spinach and rosemary. interestingly enough. Next year, stuff will actually be grown, harvested, and sold. Theoretically.

We had another high school volunteer today, by the name of Emma! How excellent! Nate (the friendly guy in the neon orange hat) and Liam (ukelele commercial guy) were also here.
