The start of hardwork...

On 29th April 2012, a group of us took on the task of digging part of Jericho land to prepare the soil for planting vegetables. We started at 4:30pm and it was hot!

The group was great, as the heat from the scorching sun did nothing to dampen our enthusiasm. At the end of the day, we thought we did a pretty good job!

The Little Helpers
Clearing the weeds by digging them out
Stones were removed as well
'Nicholas the Great' at work
Thit Meng digging a compost hole
We continued work on 5th May 2012 at 7:30am. The weather was totally different from the last time we worked. It was cooling as there was a slight drizzle. Again, we did not let the rain stop us and we continued on. We brought along with us some lemongrass and a banana plant, which will be our first greens.
Continued to remove any unwanted stones
Loosening the soil as much as we can
A happy to toil team
Emmanuel in our midst 
Clearing new grounds
Our new banana plant
Getting the plots ready to receive the plants
An experienced hand.. Uncle Fah Shin!
It needed teamwork
Putting the banana plant in its proper place
Adjusting, adjusting...
A wonderful time of fellowship as well
Much was done finally
Coming up soon... The trellises for the plants and it will be another hard day's work! :)
