Growers gear up for spring 2012

Williams Sustainable Growers: Early Spring Means Early Planting?

With the help of a large grow light cart on loan from the Biology Department, Williams Sustainable Growers have a jump on the season. Seven flats of seeds, ranging from diverse lettuces and brassica plants to onions, promise a bounty throughout the summer. The growers already seeded peas, radishes, carrots, and more directly in the ground.
