Day 3 was one of my favorite days! Lavender is one of my favorite scents so I very much enjoyed the first task. The first task was to gather and pull the old lavender roots. We were all conversing in the privacy of ourselves while Suzie took the old lavender to compost and did a few other tasks. Jay was absent that day. It was nice to have a moment to ourselves at the farm. I felt that they trusted us and we enjoyed talking about things that we wouldn't always discuss in front of adults. It was very clear that the CP group had grown closer that day. Krithi and I did some hoeing and weeding which I for sure felt the next day. It was a laborus task that we even got blisters from! This made me feel tough 8) That day we all planted 8500 onions in the onion beds. There was a careful and strategic way to place these onions. We all made sure that we had it right and all felt comfortable correcting each other and asking questions. Then, the super fun came after! Carrots are one of my favorite vegetables and we got to taste real organic carrots. They were delicious! We also did the asparagus challenge where we had to eat an asparagus that was still planted in the bed. It was safe and clean of course. We also tasted different lettuce that we would not otherwise buy or usually taste. All vegetable were delicious.
