Hello loyal fans!! Welcome to week six of our program! It is flying by... no lie! I apologize as it has felt as though the blog posts are few and far between and appreciate your patience. The greenhouse folk have been steadily plucking away at the transplanting up at the greenhouse to ensure everything is ready for the big planting day at the city yard. Coming up quick! The team is in to volunteer week now where we offer our many hands to local organizations which also helps boost the resumes we build later in the program. We don't usually get to go up to the greenhouse during volunteer week but we managed to set aside some time! We had our guys help get the planter boxes at the city yard all ready to go for planting, starting next week. They also helped with some transplanting, getting some soil ready and starting the moving process from Changing Gear greenhouse to the Yukon College greenhouse. It feels as though things never stop moving! That being said, pansies are done being transplanted! How exciting! The garden tower is coming along well although we are uncertain as to whether the worms have survived our attention being elsewhere. The worms in the vermicomposting home are doing splendid but it is harder to tell in the garden tower as the area is not brightly lit and we have the additional rung at the top making it quite difficult to see inside. Stepladders are recommended, friends. As for the greenhouse itself, it's a tropical jungle up there! I have posted a photo of our little plantses for your viewing pleasure. Pip pip for now little doves!
