Little Gardeners

Our neighbor, Zack, helped me plant kangkong, pechay, and lettuce yesterday.

My niece, Juju, helped me feed the goats malunggay and lapnis cuttings.

Our new carpenter, Kuya Ides, started building my goat pen for Bumblebee and Twinkle.

I also did a clay pot method I read about in bio-intensive gardening. You're supposed to bury a clay pot in the soil and fill it with water and cover it with mulch. I put used coffee filters inside so it would seep through the soil slowly.
