Thanks to all who helped! Download

Short:
* If you have 5 mins please review the MHF proposal due tomorrow: https://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~alexr/garden.pdf
* If you want garlic shoots or lettuce, feel free to pick some. We have far too much lettuce and a decent amount of garlic
* If you have 30-45 minutes please help by thinning the kale patch/moving plants around to good spacing.

Elaboration:
* The proposal is almost complete. Only changes will be adding a statement from Tom and changing the bursar’s account number to a real account. Anything else needs changing, please let me know ASAP. Constructive criticism/suggestions appreciated
* If you have experience gardening, even if you haven’t/don’t plan to help much with the garden, please send me a few sentences/paragraph to
put in. The MHF wants to see we have knowledgeable people on board the project.

* Trim garlic shoots that you take leaving hte plant about 4 inches to work with. Trimming like this encourages bulb development.
* Try to take the lettuce flowers along with leaves. Even if you don’t eat them it will encourage leave growth.

* The kale in the white rectangle should be in two rows about 1 ft apart. Plants in a row should be 2-3 in apart

Cheers,
Alex
