Last week we started seeds in the nursery. This week some of them were big enough to plant in the ground. Some students took turns helping to prepare the soil and mix in some cow manure (Although Dov and Jose really did most of the hard labor). We planted 3 beds of corn. The beans are also starting to get big, but Jose thinks they need a little more time in the nursery before they are ready to plant in the ground; It's only because the sun is so strong here, and at their current size he doesn't think they stand a chance. This just means that next week we will have more fun with planting.
We had a lot of people show up to help. Most of them are just kids from the neighborhood who were curious about what was going on. A lot of them seemed to really enjoy doing the planting and getting involved, so that was pretty cool. Overall, a good day was had by all.
