I've been working off the farm, bringing home the breadfruit and doing town errands, school shit for the last couple of days.
Today, I finished cutting back the grasses under Takako's pidgeon peas, by hand with the kama, and got fully soaked in the process. Started planting out a grid of pidgeon peas, peanut, monstera, cocoyams and a few other things like the torch ginger and some red ti, and gardenia. Had a great plan to leave strips in between and sheet mulch them with cardboard, but ran into problems with the slope being so steep that the mulch slid off the cardboard, that is what mulch I could get over to that side of the gulch, as it has been so wet that it took a barrow full of gravel to get the van out of stuck... Had to spend an hour or so getting the siphon back on like so that I could fill buckets for sheet mulching, and a fitting cracked as I was messing around so I spent some time improvising a replacement.
Planted a seedling Rollinia that Josh at Laulima gave us about a year ago, down under the pidgeon peas...
Also dug out a couple more steps in that funny stairway that didn't have a top or a bottom, now it has a top but no bottom. Also weedwhacked around the "ginger terrace" shower. Might see if Tim wants to go ahead and install the hot water heater and plumb up the new tank...
And, I added water to the batteries in the gulch solar system.
