Planting Crops
This was the first time in a few weeks that we went to the farm. The first thing that we noticed that the dirt was dry and it looked like it would be hard to grow food in it. We then saw that our flowers had grown a little but there was much more weeds than flowers. So, we divided the large amount of work that needed to be done. Keona weeded the flowerbed in order for more plants to grow.

Invented the wheel began clearing the land working tediously when our Elder approached us and rebuked us for not digging deep enough. Without the wisdom of our Elders we would not have dug deep enough and our crops would not have taken root and simply would have died off, how lucky we are to share in their wisdom. After digging deeper we understood the soil needed to be loose. We remembered back to scavenging the sweet potatoes that they were planted in raised soil, we did the same. We broke the ground hard with literal blood, sweat, and maybe some tears. We raked the loose soil into a neat straight row easy to see and distinguish between the weeds around it, knowing the loose soil will allow our crops to take root. After clearing the land with the garden metal hoe, which was much easier than doing it by hand, we broke the soil and began to plant in hopes of reaping the benefits.
