Firstly, a Happy New Year to everyone, and hopefully you all had a good Christmas as well.
This year we will be updating the blog on a far more regular basis to keep you across the developments at Chisholm as they occur. We have a range of courses and training opportunities planned for 2012 that will give both the local and wider industry some great training opportunities.
Like any other production facility, work has been continuing with our crops on a 24/7 basis. This has seen staff member Tony Bundock, being on call and working in the glasshouse right across the Christmas and New Year period, while our students and staff members take their annual leave. As you will see, he even had a visitor on Xmas Day!
Ho, Ho Ho!!!!
Our crops are going well, with both Tomato and Capsicum crops continuing to deliver product. We have also had a few uninvited guests in the shape of Red Spider Mite in the Tomatoes and Aphids in the Capsicums. This has resulted in us having to spray as our Integrated Pest management Programmes (I.P.M.) were over run by these little pests. Hopefully we can now restore the balance and get the I.P.M. programmes back on track.
In the next few weeks we will be promoting the training programmes for 2012, as well as some exciting developments............so keep following these posts!
