Howdy! This week was real fun one because I learned the well respected art of weeding at the Howdy Farm, and we like to be thorough. Since the farm tries to not use any chemicals weeding is a must on the farm. I know everyone usually thinks of weeding as a boring activity but let me tell you that's when everyone really gets to talk and learn about each other. Leads to some fun conversations and some great laughs! As you can see in the picture to the left, pulled a lot of weeds so that we could clear out the row and plant some new plants. Continuing the week, Gabrielle and I with the help of many volunteers finished weeding the row and planted some Napa Cabbages in it. The picture to the right is the row after being weeded and replanted. Took a good amount of time but like I mentioned earlier, we had a fun time having some entertaining conversations. I finished off the week helping Michael weed another row as you can see in the two pictures below. Then, we harvested some lettuces and greens to be sold at the Farmer's Market. This week was fun but the weather wasn't cooperating so I hope it starts to warm up soon. Can't wait for another week on the Howdy Farm!
