Capstone Works in Progress

I'm starting to get a little freaked out about my final project. This week I kind of plateaued and wasn't able to work on it much. Some plans fell through because of the rain and people not being able to work outside marking plots in the community garden, but I'm forming a plan and have much more time to dedicate to it this week and next.

Monday: Today I'm planning on contacting everyone I've talked to so far and firm up plans with them for this week. I might also try to head down to the Benton-Stephens community garden to see if anything is going on this evening.

Tuesday: I'm planning on going to the Urban Farm on College Ave after I'm done with classes. This is my longest afternoon so I have plenty of time. Everyone I've talked to said I just need to go by instead of trying to contact the group since they rarely return phone calls.

Wednesday: I'm hoping to meet with either one of my garden club women or the leader of the Benton -Stephens community garden. If they are unable to meet I might try to head to Jefferson City to the wildflower nursery, which I was unable to go to yesterday due to the fact that I couldn't drive. :(

Thursday: My plan is to call some gardening/hardware stores and see about taking pictures of the commercial side of gardening as I'm making calls today. Hopefully this will be a good day for me to come.

Saturday: I know one of the community gardens is having a work day, I believe planting seeds. I also was planning on going to the farmer's market in the morning before heading home for Easter.

Thankfully I don't have many other things going on in my other classes for the rest of the semester, so I can focus all my attention on this. I'm still trying to decide what form I want to turn it into. I'm not sure if an article would work, but I do think I'd rather do prints than multimedia. I'm still trying to decide though.
