Update for week of 11/16

The plants are looking great. There are a lot of weeds mainly wild radishes and we are working on keeping up with weed management. The mustard can grow much larger, the lettuce can be harvested soon. Everything is growing really well and have only seen a couple pests here and there. Our project has come a very far way.

Planning on planting within the next few days. Many pests such as red ants and sand spurs along with other weeds have been occurring.
