susan and brooke and I made a bunch more peanut cuttings from the pieces Lorinda brought home from home depot, and then susan and I planted out the hillside above the pond on the opposite side of the pond to takako's food forest. we did a bit of a simple polyculture, with pidgeon peas, sweet potato's and 5 malabar chestnuts. oh, and we dug a big hole for a gigantachloa "maxima" that should do a lot to hide the buses when it gets up, and we did put in a few cassia elata, and a few red gingers and red ti leaves, and some cocoyams, which ought to look nice downby the pond. it actually didn't rain today for the first time in days and days and days, so if it doesn't rain tonight we might have to get the hoses out. the ground is really wet though.
