A Field Day

The many dedicated volunteers from the Draper Utah Eastridge Stake and Youth Homeschooling Group assisted the faithful service missionaries this evening.

The temporary greenhouse and weedcloths survived the prolonged high wind. The new little transplants planted on Saturday didn't  survive the high wind.

Additional weed cloths were placed in the field after the dirt clumps  were removed.  The seedlings were replanted.  An overgrown carrot  bed was removed.  

Leaf  lettuce was harvested and donated to the Bishop's Storehouse.

Planting in the Field

The helpful members of the Sandy  Utah Granite Stake, Sandy  Utah  Crescent North Stake and the Salt Lake Wasatch Stake along with the  dedicated service missionaries were busy this morning.

The weed  cloth was installed in the field.  The various varieties of   winter squash were planted in the field.  The greenhouse panels were  installed.  The peppers and squash were checked for insects.

The Work Before the Wind Event

The good members from the Sandy Utah Central Stake, Sandy  Utah Cottonwood Creek Stake and the Sandy Utah Crescent  South Stake and the helpful service missionaries were busy this  evening.

Lettuce was harvested!  The field was raked in order to remove more  dirt clumps.  Field weed barriers had additional anchors installed against the strong winds expected tomorrow. Weeding occurred in  many of the growboxes.

The Work Goes On

Many Helpful Volunteers

The helpful  volunteers  from  the Sandy  Utah  Crescent  Ridge  Stake and the Sandy Utah Crescent Stake assisted the faithful  service  missionaries this morning.

Fourteen rows of corn was planted.  Pumpkins, melons, squash  seeds were planted in the greenhouse.  Zucchini and zephyr  squash were planted in the growboxes.  The drainage trench irrigation water was re-directed to the corn rows.  The black netting was placed over the cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli to keep the non-beneficial butterflies away.  The tomato cages were placed over the tomatoes.  The field  was raked  again  to  remove  more  dirt  clumps.
