Week 1 - Horticulture class

For the spring semester, we decided to join LA Pierce college's Horticulture Projects class. This class can be done on campus, at home or on site. We chose to combine a home vegetable garden project with an academic setting. Being amateur gardeners, we very much appreciate the resources available to us.

Here are a list of our objectives:
- Learn how to successfully grow a vegetable patch (%90 from seed)
- Learn how to install and maintain a drip irrigation system, including using a water timer
- Use organic, no chemical methods for pest control
- Maximize limited space availability for vegetable patch (using square-foot gardening technique and 5 gal containers)
- Learn how to journal and organize the process, create a blog
