4 September 2, 2012 Summer Crops Were BIG Success! MARLIN by The Old Scout crab feast No question - in spite of drought, then rains, then more G’S drought - summer 2012 was successful for the William Penn High School Penn Farm Project! Using non-chemical approaches to growing vegetables was a challenge, for sure - but the results were as good, or better, than expected. Especially gratifying were the really extraordinary crops of tomatoes and peppers.
Our students learned the modern techniques of mulching, irrigation and organic fertilization that carried us through the tough weather. And the weather wasn't just tough for the plants - but the crew endured some really brutal days. Some days working in over 105 heat index - yep, we sweated! And SHOOTER TOSS
