Today we woke up and headed to the farm to get to work. When we arrived we started by removing sun roots from the tilled garden rows. Jim was teaching us about how sun root used to be a very popular root with local Native American tribes and that it tastes like a water chestnut. It was hard sorting through the dirt to find all of the little chunks. After that, we went to the barn and we had to move a large pile of hay to the compost bin. The hay was covered in cow waste so it smelled really bad and it was wet and heavy. We loaded up a wheel barrel and went back and forth a bunch of times. After that, we had some lunch. To finish off the day, we planted a row of onions, which in the end amounted to a few hundred onions. Lastly, we trimmed and weeded some dead plants from one of the gardening beds.
