We have 3 hardworking men Joe, Jamie and Ron from Global Compassion Ministries are here building shade houses this week. Joe has been gardening in Haiti for over 15 years and is an expert when it comes to what to grow around here. Jamie and Ron have also been to Haiti multiple times and they accompanied Joe here this time to build shade houses for MBH. It has been a great process to watch and I am learning so much from these experienced gardeners. The shade houses are in the back of the property, will provide 40% shade and will house hundreds of plants! Project MamaBaby Garden is in full effect!!
Our initial garden is also growing like crazy and we have already harvested some green beans, beets, carrots, bundles of beet greens, chard, bok choy and the spiciest arugula around. Our melons grew but in all honesty were not super tasty but the cucumbers were certainly delicious. The tomatoes are ready to go crazy as there are so many unripe fruits weighing the branches down Santo took it upon himself to stake them up...it has been great to see how excited everyone here is about the garden project. We hope to be able to teach the community to garden using our garden as an example of what came grow with some water and TLC.
