September 2011
This month we worked at Weaver's Way; pulling out tomato plants and stakes, weeding beds, using the wheelbarrow to take some weeds to the compost and other diseased tomato plants to the woods so that the disease would not go on to live in the compost soil. we tried some tomatoes, nastursiums, too. also planted some radishes (?) no one remembers now as we write this.

Went to Stenton Family Farm located behind the homeless shelter. This garden cannot take large school groups like Weaver's Way, so since we are a small group, we will be going here from now on because W.W has so much help from other schools. Kestrel and Katie are the farm workers we have been working with this year. Today we thinned the chard and we weeded a long row, pulling out lots of lady finger weeds, murdoch, and another weed with long strong roots. It was a beautiful sunny day. We picked some radishes for Jeff since we borrowed his car.

Rainy day, worked on Wiki and posters. Takashi made a wanted poster about Devil's Walking Stick destroying native species. David worked on a poster about all the plants that are good and edible that are usually thrown away and/or not thought to be good and eaten.
