FARM LYFE!!!!

i’ve had a blast gardening and farming. i recently began my apprenticeship at everoak farm in orlando and already i have learned so much. i’ve moved so much mulch, cut down many trees, and planted seeds/ transplanted seedlings… it’s been good for me to learn the efficiency that is required for a farm.

pre-haircut

i appreciate the hard labor of it all, i feel strong and directly seeing the impact of my work has been fruitful for me.

post-chop

i harvested some green papaya so mike (the owner) let me take some home. i’ve been eating a lot of shredded papaya with chili oil, soy sauce, and (vegan) fish sauce….

FROM MY GARDEN -

pre-wash

i harvested sweet potatoes for the first time :’) it was so satisfying!! i got 9.5 lbs of the stuff. one of the potatoes alone was 4.5 lbs… it was bigger than my head!

1 of 2 pans of roasted sweet potato … all from that one giant potato

i’ve got like 8 watermelons cooking on the vine and 6 luffa gourds … i will wait for them to dry and harvest them for sponges and seed. i’ll let you know when those are available.

luffa gourds on the vine … the bees love the flowers!!

my next purchase will be a scale so i can begin to weigh my dried herbs. i plan to sell them soon, but i need a scale to do it right. more on that soon.

sharing herbs with my run club pals, thank you stori pardee for the pic!!

besides that, i’ve been sharing seeds with my friends and eating local fruits from Audrey at second breakfast
