Yesterday I went all out to weed off grasses from the veggies bed. We have currently ordered for some seeds and are hopeful that they will arrive today so that we can fill up the farms with vegetables.
For the portion of the veggies that germinated at least, the available ones are well grown now and ready for harvest. I did plug off a handful to use at home today

While I had showed us how we carried our irrigation farming here i am certain that a lot of you must have seen this as some very easy task but just take a look at how the vegetables beds looks like.

The ground is so dry and hard, almost impossible to work with, nevertheless the moments we start wetting the place everywhere becomes so lose and to soft to walk within. It is a fertile clayloam soil here, it's gets too hard if there is no water and becomes too soft likewise if there is excess water.

I decided to do the manual hand weeding before we wet the farm in the evening even though the soil was a bit hard,it will be a bit difficult to walk and work in the mud if we decided to wet the farm before weeding. I was able to navigate my way and finish up a good portion of the clearing, but the irrigation was postponed till today so that Weeding can be completed before we do any further work.

You are working hard. Although it is winter here, we had a warm week and my garlic has already sprouted. My sister gave me some garlic she got from a friend, who said this garlic came from bulbs his grandmother brought with her when she came to the USA. So this garlic is an heirloom. !BBH
