This Saturday I got to the garden around 10, and there were already about five men at work. That is the first time I had seen anyone except the service learners out working. While the men did their thing we wandered around and looked at all the sprouts popping up everywhere! It was awesome to see our work lead to something. After a while of looking we got to seeding some more. Today we planted all of the squashes, cucumbers and okra. It was an open garden kind of day so mid way through the work some parents and kids came out to see the garden. Many of the kids were extremely enthusiastic. Two of them even helped the service learners water and plant. It was awesome. These kids were so excited. I hope they can get into the program for the summer. It was amazing to see the kids and somewhat see why the garden is actually there, and why we are our working.
