Im in the Gaaarden..

A couple of friends from Iwokrama and I are growing a garden in the back corner of the field station (more like, I am helping!). It is so nice to work in the garden after being in the office all day.

 Here is the seed bed I planted, anxiously waiting for the little guys to appear! I hope they grow, its easy for seeds to spoil here in this climate. We also don't know how long they were sitting in the package. There are a lot of weeds that have come up, but I don't want to dig up the weeds until I am sure they aren't the seeds!

 I dug up the grass, and mixed in manure and sand into the soil to make beds for tomato, radish and eggplant to grow. It is much harder to work in the tropics, I was sweating a LOT!
