I worked in the garden on Wednesday the 23rd of October 2013. Before we began to work, I noticed that one of the plots already had trenches dug. The trenches were relatively flat as opposed to being too steep. Ms. Betancourt had told our group to dig similar trenches in our plot so that we would be able to plant pumpkins. I also noticed that everything was dry prior to working. Individually, I dug a trench using a hoe and a shovel. I also watered some of the herbs on the other side of the garden. As a group, we dug several trenches for the pumpkins. We used the hose to loosen up the dirt before we dug. We also used the water to compact the edges of the trenches to that the dirt doesn't cave in. The next group should probably transfer the pumpkins into the ground so that they can take root and grow. When the pumkins are ready for harvest, we should carve some of them. We can toast the pumpkin seeds that we gather from the pumpkins. Some of the pumpkins should be used to make pumpkin pies.
