Garden Group Party 4/26/13: All of Biology Class with some helpers


1) a picture of your group working or before and after pictures of the garden on your workday 2) Date you worked 3) Observations you made initially before you started to work. 4) What work you did individually in the garden?What work your group accomplished? 5) What you think needs to be done by the next group? 6) What should we do with the harvest? 

   
No Pictures...

   On April 26, 2013, I worked in the garden with almost the entire Biology class and a few helpers. Initially, I observed that there were more weeds next to the band room, and some bunches of weeds in other areas.
Individually, I started off shoveling mush into a wheel barrow and bringing it to the garden for making the trench going around the garden. I then switched to digging the trench with a shovel with some help from Ian (helped break down the dirt). After that, I used my hands to dig some dirt out of the trench, then took a break from that and piled a lot of weeds into a wheel barrow and dumped it in the trash. Once again I come back to the trench and use a hoe to scoop out the dirt while it was being dug by Ian. Finally I switched lastly over to the sugar cane portion of the garden and using a hoe, I dug tiny openings in the dirt for seeds to be in.  My group made a lot of progress, such as digging half of the trench for irrigation. Another accomplishment was cutting down the sugar cane and readying the soil for planting. Finally, removing weeds from the garden and the stepping stones was the last accomplishment. I think that the trench needs to be finished, the dirt needs to be prepared for planting, and more weeds need to be pulled out of the garden. When the harvest is ready, it should be shared with both Biology and Biology Honors classes because of the commitment and hard work.
