Week 3: Learning the Sites

4/5/10 - 4/8/10
This week we started out working on caging the plants that were planted the week before so the animals wouldn’t prey on them and kill all our hard work. We also starting hand watering plants for the season because all the snow has melted and we are getting some dry and windy days here. The irrigation systems installed aren’t going to be turned on till we get the OK from the contractors who installed them. We started out watering the largest section planted by last fall’s crew called P-1, and fixed some smashed fencing from the heavy snows this past winter. Bruce (our SCA truck) had to be taken in for repairs on Wednesday because the wiring for attaching trailers wasn’t working correctly. It was a successful trip to Williams because he was able to fix it without ordering a new part. We have to say goodbye to Emily this week because she got a job offer in Seattle. We will miss your hard work, your attention to detail, and your laughs Emily. Bon voyage, come back to SCA if it doesn’t work out!
