Some of the First Plants

Above left:
      Three week old cilantro sprouts. In a few weeks I'm hoping to move them into the  newly built box at the high school, assuming we get approved. I water them in the morning and evening everyday and just check them.

Above right:
     Adolescent mint plants. When the planter box it finished I'm planning on transferring them immediately so they have a little more room to grow.

    Next week (if we get approved), I plan to buy/find more seeds and get them in the ground so they can start growing!!

      We are building a planter box over by Mr. James' art room, near the banana trees, against the white fence.

This week I planted the papaya (non-GMO from Molokai) and lilikoi (passion fruit) seeds! I bought a papaya and a lilikoi from the store, and took the seeds out of them. Then I planted them in pots and made labels for them. I plan to keep them at home until they grow big enough to plant in the EC yard. Next week mike and I are planning on building the planter box, if we get our proposal approved!

Digging the Bed

         This week we began the long and tedious task of digging the actual bed of our garden. We used hoes and a pickaxe to remove the grass and some of the roots. We then soaked the ground in our desired area with water to soften the compacted dirt and make it easier to loosen before we plant our plants. On Wednesday, during project based learning we continued digging up the roots of all the grass and other roots that were in there. After loosening some more of the dirt we got a wheelbarrow and put some of the root invested dirt in it, it was much easier to get the roots out after that. We got the wheelbarrow about half way full before we had to stop and clean up and put the tools away, time is the enemy, as usual.We plan to continue digging and finish soon so we can get our plants in the ground.
