Sunny Saturday

A day in the Nursery without rain! It's warm! What is this?!

I was beside myself to see that it wasn't raining when I woke up to head to the farm. But, when I got there I was a bit disappointed to learn that there wasn't much for us to do. With a full shadehouse we are unable to propagate anything or even do cuttings. To take up some time Peta and I began making bamboo stakes to sell but it was guaranteed to be a slow day.

Later, I was sent to harvest chili peppers to save for seeds. Peta told me to touch them as little as possible and handed me a bucket and a pair of scissors. After gathering a sizable amount, I left them in the nursery office until next weekend when we can hopefully begin to plant some new chilies.
