Although when we started this week it did not look like we have accomplished much. Only by looking at the photos that I have taken can you really see what we have achieved. The trees that are at the base of our plot where cut back and we have dug almost half of the plot over. As of Thursday we have planted our first crop although I was not their at the time since I have a lot of college work to do. [I still need to finish it]. but we are starting to feel like we are achieving something. So here are some pics of the progress.
This is before we started digging/burning. You can see the amount of dry grass in the corner of the left picture.
Burning the sticks and all the dry grass. When we put the grass in it created yellow smoke making it look like mustard gas. It burned yours eyes and no matter where I stood it kept finding my eyes.
Our kitchen away from home. All we had to eat that day was hot dogs and onion it wasn't much but it filled us up and it was warm.
Digging the first bit. I was planning to just dig small areas first and clearing it of grass and roots but then everyone else decided to dig everywhere first and then go back to take out all grass and that.
So now it is just one big muddy patch or rather half of it is dug up muddy patch, the other is just mud.
Since I was not there for the first planting I have no pictures. I was thinking that the next time I go down that I take my big camera instead of relying on my phone camera but at the moment I can not complain about the picture quality.
