There is nothing worse than a lovely week and then waking up early on Friday to see it has begun to rain, once again. That was what happened to me this past Friday and I was not too happy about it. Last week, my plans with Simon were foiled due to the torrential downpour. This week was shaping up to end the same way.
When I arrived on the farm I was happy that it had stopped raining for the time being. Simon sent me out to the Market Garden with Tim, a volunteer and student at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to map out the garden and begin to come up with a plan for it's future. I had never done something like this before so I was excited to learn something new that would help the farm in the future.
We began with an aerial shot of the Market Garden. The chickens, trees, and paths could be easily identified, but the actual beds were a big blur. Once in the garden it was easier to spot the different plots but many were overgrown and the pumpkin patch had taken over a good fourth of the area. These areas were a little more difficult to draw onto the map but we did a rough sketch of what was in the area. We included what saw growing in each plot in a list below the photo.
The day went from beautiful to rainy once again and just as we finished drawing in the last of the beds, it began to pour once again. After heading back to the office, Simon determined that we should continue a different day and I was able to make my way home in the rain.
