February Garden

I started a garden at my school. The school gave me a large plot of land to do whatever I want. So far we've created a seed bed, compost pile and we are just about done turning the soil over. It's a lot of work and I am using forced/slave labor to help me complete the project: Suspension students. If you get suspended from school in Belize you don't go home, you work. The soil is very rich because about 10 years ago a teacher started a garden and chicken coop but it was abandoned about 5 years ago. We should be planting some seeds within the next week or so and doing some transplanting in about 3-4 weeks.
