Jardin

Boo I couldn't wake up to go gardening! And I must admit I'd been looking forward to it lately. The thing is I went to bed at 2:40 (working on my essay- 9.25 pages down so yay) so waking up at 7:40 was just something my body refused me. O well, next week or the week after.

The garden grows lots of veggies and is grown as a continuous activity for local youth- to keep them engaged in something proactive. I don't think that many youth come... but I've met a few. You can kind of pick them out by their baby faces and tendency to only beso girls and handshake guys jeje

Usually when I go my job is to sacar yuyos (weeds = pronounced "shushos" with the silly argentine love of SHHHHH) I've also raked, prepared planting pots, watered, and drank lots of mate : P

P.s.
My mate addiction is getting out of hand. I now drink it EVERYWHERE I go. At home. At la alameda. At the jardin. Jaja next will be in class.

    Hi Becca! This is Jill :)
    I've been reading your blog and it sounds awesome. Your gardening sounds way more productive than what's going on in my backyard...my parents decided to plant a little patch this year near our shed, and now that things are growing it's not exactly clear what's a thriving weed or squash plant. Oops! We also have rabbits and this creature (opposum? groundhog? we've only caught glimpses of the sneaky thing!) that keep on eating all the good-looking stuff. Figures.
    Anyway, we should get a little gardening plot together for next year. Maybe an herb garden or something?
