I had a short third week of my internship because I will be out of town until after New Years. Zach and I focused on weeding all three of the greenhouses, using a hula hoe for most of the beds and a cobra tool (a smaller hand tool) for our more delicate crops that are planted closer together (such as turnips). We also harvested out a 50 foot bed of carrots, bed prepped it, and then planted bok choy seeds. The next day we harvested out a 50 foot bed of radishes and then planted more radishes after prepping the bed.
Zach and I also made some deliveries to the food hub and two local restaurants. These deliveries usually happen on a weekly basis during the winter (and more often during the summer). I really enjoy helping Zach out with this because I get to meet a lot of other people that are passionate about the local food movement happening in Reno.
