Devyns garden project

So, with the help of fantastic herb seeds sent from home, I was finally urged to do my garden project. Four days, three blisters, and two children later its finally done. No sprouts yet but Ive (hopefully) got pumpkins, tomatoes (two types.. I forgot there were different types of tomatoes. Imagine how funny it was to me after a year here to receive three different strains of tomatoes in a package. I just stared at the three packages dumbfounded. Then read the directions.), cucumbers, local zucchini, local chilis called sakay, beans, bell peppers, rosemary, basil, cilantro, garlic, chives, some pretty flowers, and something else I cant remember at the moment. Anyways... here are some pics of the place!
Local boys helping me it. After seeing a tarantula in the water pump room I hired the boy with red sleeves to fetch water twice a week. I pay him pretty well according to the local family.



This is the herb planter where hopefully tasty seasonings will grow. Yes I built the lopsided circle although it has since been corrected.


My little flower planter and dish washing area. Old desks come in handy. Creativity is a must in this lifestyle.


Watching the boys working in the dirt, the girls stayed clean but were awestruck when I was down in the dirt picking out roots, rocks and trash. Apparently people of my "standing" shouldnt get so dirty. I told them I loved it and they laughed and whispered for a good 30min straight

Even Cleo got in on the fun. Although at this point she is trying to dig up a tea plant.
