Harvest day with the fruit tree class! Correctly determining when to harvest can make or break the shelf life of produce - so students practice using refractometers and other objective measures of ripeness - along with taste, smell and size. #seedsatcity #sdcitycollege #peaches #sustainableagriculture #urbanfarming #organicfruittrees #learning @ Seeds at City Urban Farm
