Potrero Nuevo Farm
Day 3
February 26, 2016, was our third day volunteering at the farm. My team and I arrived at 12:45 pm and met Suzie. We helped clean another small area in the farm of weeds and dead plants so we can plant some other types of plants. Then, Suzie, the farm’s manager, taught us how we transplant most kinds of plants. Four healthy rhubarb plants were transplanted by the team. After that, we tried some fresh organic produce such as carrot that we picked it up ourselves. Finally, we helped the farm sow six different kinds of onion in raised beds. I sowed Walla Walla onion seeds in one bed and then placed it in the greenhouse.
The pictures below summarize what we did the third day:
