YEA!   The WWOOF's are here and have been doing wonderful work!  There are no words to express how appreciative I am for their help and dedication. 

Ken (below)  has been amazing and helps me with anything I ask him to do.  He is my 12 month WWOOF.    Here he is clearing the field of pallets.   In the past I used black plastic - held down with pallets - to keep weeds under control but this year I am going to change to a different format/plan.   I will add pictures and information as this starts to be accomplished. 

 Luke and Lauren (below) have been here, with me, for a month.  They came to me after completing 7 months in South America as WWOOF's.   They cleared the field of weeds, burned piles, went to the dump many times, hauled peat moss, and got the field ready to till.   Luke also brought many loads of manure to start decomposing for future garden area.   Lauren made many seed tapes for planting which I will share in detail soon.  Here they are after helping design and build the new drip irrigation system.

 

FYI - The dandelions in the forefront of the picture are organic. Dried dandelions are thought by some to treat cancer and cleanse the body of toxins. For more reading go to:

Here are Luke and Lauren after building the greenhouse.

Things are growing and getting bigger...
