October 31, 2012 Happy Halloween!
3) Observations you made initially before you started to work.
I saw weeds and some tomatoes on the tomato plant. I saw lots of basil and bees surrounding the small white flowers on the stem.
4) What work you did individually in the garden?What work your group accomplished?
Individually I worked on picking the stems on basil plant. I picked weeds & threw it in the barrel.
Our group picked weeds that we didn't plant. One of our group members watered the plants in our garden.
5) What you think needs to be done by the next group?
I think that we should pick more weeds, if there is any more. Check on the tomatoes, see if they're ripe enough to pick. We should continue doing our regular routines (picking weeds & watering plants).
6) What should we do with the harvest? First we should see if they are ready to harvest. We should share the harvest with our group members.

Thursday, October 18, 2012
Date that I worked: 10/11/12
Some obsevations that I made when I ws working in the group was that there was a lot of dead leaves on the sugar cane. And also that there was weeds around the banana trees. And lastly that there was a tomato on the bush.
In the garden my individual work was that I worked around the sugar cane and pukk the weeds by it. And also take the dead leaves off the sugar cane. And pull weeds around the bananas.
We worked all together in the same general area. And did about all the same effort in the garden.
Work that is work behind the sugar cane with the big weeds. And pull around the bananas.
With the harvest of the tomato we should eat salso and chips. And maybe we should give it to the food bank.

Garden Group 1: JD, Sam, Olivia, Hamilton and Alice - 9/19/12
When and what time I worked:
I worked on Wednesday September 19th, after school from 3:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
When I observed the garden, there were a lot of weeds growing in the garden. Also, the rest of the garden was pretty much dirt, with some sugar cane and small banana trees.
Individual work:
I helped with a few things. First off, I took the before and after pictures on Mrs. Betancourt's camera and helped pull out some weeds. After I pulled out the weeds, I placed them in a wheel barrow.
Group work:
Sam, Olivia, Hamilton, Alice and I had the task of clearing weeds. To make this task easier, we all split up into small groups to work faster. We cleared a lot of the weeds, but not all of them.
Group Accomplishments:
We accomplished clearing at least 95% of the weeds that were initially there. We worked together as a team and completed our tasks.
What I think needs to be done with the next group:
The next group should clear all of the weeds that we were not able to clear. This would make the area ready, and more fertile to grow more plants.
What should be done with the harvest:
The harvest should go to any hard-working garden group workers and the overage to the cafeteria. It would be a good reward for working hard in the garden and getting the job done.

Group 2 Joshua Schwartzlow
Garden Group 2- Wed. Sept. 25, 26
Date Worked: Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Time: 3:00-3:30pm
People Present: Joshua, Rey, Ian, Taylor, Ivana, Destiny
Observations: The soil in the garden plots were mostly cleared of weeds and dead plants. While we were working in the garden we noticed that the dirt was very rock and compact. Half of the basil plant was covered with flowers. The plants that were in the garden were basil, tomato, banana, and sugar cane.
What I did individually: First, I broke up the compact soil with a pickax and a shovel. Second, I dug holes in the soil with the shovel. Third, I planted Kale, Lettuce and Rosemary in the newly dug hole. Finally, I ended my garden work with watering the plants I had planted.
What the group accomplished: Half of the group focused on pulling off the basil flowers and pulling out any weeds they could find. While the other half of the group worked on digging the holes, planting the plants and loosening the dirt.
What needs to be done by the next group: The next group should make sure that all of the recently planted plants should be watered and the whatever weeds we missed should be pulled out. The next group should plant more plants to keep the soil from eroding away.
What should we harvest?: The basil is ready to be harvested.
Hard working Gardeners
When I worked:
I worked on a after school at 3 o'clock to 3:30. It was very hot and it was on Wednesday after school on September 19.
Observations Before garden:
When I went to the garden it was very, very weedy like it had alot of weeds and it also was hot.
What I Worked On:
I worked on pulling weeds and throwing away the trash. I was working so hard trying to pull the weeds I almost fell back. When I threw the weeds in the trash the dirt particles started going in my eyes and it was horrible. I felt like I was torchered.
Group Worked On:
Our group worked on pulling weeds and throwing the trash. Alice, Olivia, Sam, JD, and I worked very good. There was alot of weeds everywhere so we broke up into different places to work on and most of us finished alot of weeds and threw it away.
Our Group Accomplished:
Working together as a team to finish the job and we communicated very well and no one got hurt. Also everyone went home safe and sound.
Next Group:
They should accomplish doing the same things as we did so it would a good and better environment for the plants to grow better.
Harvest:
I think the harvest should be given to the most hard workers which are the students who work in the garden and deserve a bit of appriciation for working hard under the hot melting sun.

Garden Group Three- Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Date Worked: Wednesday, October 10, 2012
Time: 3:00-3:30pm
Those Present: Micah, Nikki
Observations: There were some weeds growing around the plants- but not many. The sugar cane needed to be worked upon because of the many dead leaves hanging from the stalks. The basil was thriving, but we needed to pull out the small "flowers" on the plant. All of the plants were in need of watering. There were many small tomatoes growing on the tomato bush.
What did I individually do in the garden?: I pulled out some of the small "flowers" on the basil plants. I also removed many of the dead leaves one the sugar cane stalks. In Ms. Betancourts's classroom, I planted some hydroponic plants such as four o'clock flowers and bush beans.
What did the group accomplish?: We pulled out moat of the small "flowers" on the basil plants. We also removed many of the dead leaves one the sugar cane stalks. We watered the basil, sugar cane, taro, and tomato plants. In Ms. Betancourts's classroom, we planted some hydroponic plants such as four o'clock flowers, bush beans and lettuce.
What needs to be done by the next group: I think the next group should comntine to pull out weeds and water the plants. They should also pull off all dry leaves on the sugar cane. Lastly, the next group should check to see if any of the tomatoes need to be harvested.
What should we harvest?: If found that the tomatoes are ready to be harvested, the next group can harvest them.
