This morning the whole team headed to P2 where we finished twist tying Echinaceas, we did 40 rows yesterday and another 40 today! To be honest this morning’s experience in P2 has been the best one so far! Past visits have been full of rain, misery, and soggy socks. After finishing P2 we went on a little quick field trip to a sunflower field right in front of West of Aanenson, it was quite beautiful!
When we came back to Hjelm, half of the team and me (Gael) went around P1 on Tower Road to exterminate some of the Bird’s Foot Trefoil that has been spreading around the common garden. While the rest of our team was pulling some BFT I checked around for the plants I recently treated with herbicide and THEY WERE DEAD! I was very happy to see that not only the plants were completely dead but also that the surrounding plants weren’t affected at all!
After exterminating some BFT, we came back to Hjelm to have lunch. I had some really good chicken fajitas made by my dad, and we shared some cucumbers from Stuart’s parent’s garden and some cool grapes from Maddie’s aldi’s bag.
After lunch we got some time to work on our independent projects. I went around the enclosure of the goats (now near P1) to continue my work on herbicide and pulling BFT. Aaron worked on his plants with aphids, Maddie D. worked in setting up visors to measure in P2, Grace and Kyra worked on their Bee paper, and Maddie S. went meandering (species identification walks for her thesis).
Here are some really cute pictures of today!
And that concludes the update of the day! Thanks for reading, see you next time, love you bye!
