The Heavy Snow Begins in the Tahoe region. Mr. Connor's on break....

 

Winter Tahoe Trip

 This winter was used fire some training and conditioning and to check out some old rain gear. It rained or snowed pretty much every day we were Tahoe. The one clear day we had we used for snow shoeing. Turns out some rain gear I have from 2009 is no longer waterproof 😕 time to look for something new

Out on the Farm

 Just hanging around...

The Interior Garden

We have both hot and sweet peppers growing indoors at the moment. We are using old serving carts to hold the plants. LED lights are placed on a timer and are providing light for 16 hours a day.

 

Students add perimeter fencing

 Students add perimeter fencing on the north perimeter of the citrus garden. We shrunk the existing perimeter fence to use to add around the citrus grove and for use in some raised garden beds to allow plants in the garden to climb.

Inside Garden

 We are using two cafeteria food service containers (for lack of a better word) as plant holders. The students placed a 4' LED light and we now have approx 60 hot pepper plants growing in soil in a bed of fertilized water.

Cull

 We, unfortunately, had a large roo population and were unable to give the roos away. We made the best of the situation. All of the culled roos have been given to families for a meal for free.

New Hatch of Chicks

 We had 10 Chicks hatch on Monday, November 28th.
