The ag site got a huge donation of seed packets for all kinds of vegetables. In the above picture some visiting students are helping to organize the seeds. I was so thankful to get the seeds for two reasons: 1. the kids are more excited to plant and care for their gardens when they aren't always planting the same old thing, and 2. it's hard to get a variety of seeds here. Just the day before getting the seeds I was selling radishes in the market and they asked me if I had any of those ' nice, round' radishes. And I said I did plant some, but wouldn't be able to sell them because I needed to leave the plants to harvest seeds off of. This seed donation had two different radish seed varieties (both which appear to be nice and round), which I'm so excited to try!!Saturday, June 23, 2007

Hey Arlene, I was trying to look for your email addy on here so I could write you! Anyway, I love the updates and am excited to see you pretty soon when I'm down there with my team (July 16th). My question would be inregards to donations. I have a student, Kinlee, who will be working at the site and she is intersted in what donations she should/can bring. Let me know if there are any specifics. You can email me at socsand7@yahoo.com See ya soon!!!
