Thursday, July 16





























MORNING:

Kimberton Farm: This morning we split into two groups, one which continued to make potting soil and the other which weeded the compost pile. Many of us were very discouraged by the forest of weeds that grew there, but with two people pulling we managed to get the larger weeds. We also planted two rows of sunflower seeds.

Sankanac Farm: The people who went to Sankanac harvested carrots and beets, saying it was a relief not to weed.

Charlestown Farm: At Charlestown, they continued to weed thistles out of the strawberry patch.

AFTERNOON:

We split into two groups, one which cooked salsa and pesto and the other which played football. The cooking group had a lot of fun working together and were proud of what they made. When he tried the salsa, Robert said, "Man, this stuff is good! You gotta try some of this stuff!" Willie responded with, "Yeah, that's cause we made it! Although some people are hesitant and scared to try something new like pesto, some find that when they do try it they really like it, or that maybe they could become accustomed to the taste.

During football, although it was very humid today, everyone worked well together, even praising the other team for getting a touchdown!
