Keeping the Plants Happy

By -

         Over the past couple weeks we've been watering the plants in our little garden every morning and sometimes in the afternoon if they wanted more. For watering them during the weekend and on school breaks the grounds keepers have agreed to water them for us. About five days ago our beans sprouted as you can see in the image. In addition to watering the plants every day we also check them to see how they're doing; if they have any dead leaves that need to be removed or are wilting.

    Wow looks great. When will you guys harvest and where will your harvest go? Maybe you guys could dry them and sell herbs and spices at the farmer’s market

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.
