Getting ready to plant

Last Saturday, 19th May 2012, we did more work on our plot.

It was nice to see our lemongrass growing with new green shoots and to our amazement, our only banana plant is still standing, thankfully! We added some pandan plants and sweet potato shoots. The children have their own little plot which they sowed some groundnuts, which they are eagerly waiting to germinate.

The highlight on Saturday was the building of the framework for climbing plants. We managed to get one up with much thanks from the guys who came to help.

Therefore the work continue... and we are glad of the many support from friends who offered to water during the week, collecting seeds and plants for planting and for sponsoring the work.

This water tank delivered on 11th May2012,
will be used to collect  rainwater for the watering of the plants.

Thank goodness we have someone who
could fix our tools!

Oh, the joy in digging the soil!

"Um, where are the ants?"

"Yes, look up to me... I'm holding the hammer!"

Making sure that the line is straight.

Learning from the wise.

Look, no nails!
