Hello everyone! 

We finally made it to the farm today!  The weather got a little bit rainy but we did not get too wet. 

Our first farming project will be to make a "3 Sisters Garder."  Native Americans would grow vegetables this way many years ago.  The 3 sisters are corn, squash (pumpkin), and beans.  If we plant these vegetables together, they will all grow better than if we plant them apart from each other.


 


Whenever the Native Americans planted these veggies, they would plant fish or seaweed with the plants for starting fertalizer.  So we went to the beach to collect seaweed.  We then wash the sand and salt from the seaweed to be planted with the veggies in the future.






Then we prepared the planting area.  First, we spread aged chicken poop over the field.  Then, with the tiller, we turned the soil.  Each student took turns using the tiller!  We should be ready to plant on our next class! 

Thanks for your time and support! 

Warm regards,

Michael Coach
