With the help of 2 wwoofers, Tim and Sharesa, we planted about 150 pidgeon pea seedlings in amongst the E. Degluptas on the Loomis lane side of the gulch.
Tim and I had put in a couple dozen more peanut in Takako's food forest before we got started on that too. We had to reprime the siphon out of the top pond as the level is getting so low that air leaks are making things tough. Oh, for that sunpump...
Still, we had enough water to water in the pidgeon peas, and still some mulch left from Coursen to do the pidgeon peas. Nice mulch too, a mixture of monkeypod, cassia fistula, madagascar olive and cook pine. POssible that some madagascar olive will came up from the mulch, but we can just use it as chop and drop.
Had to separate the yum yum goat who was getting harassed by sheba and moon and breaking loose. Had him tied out for a lot of the afternoon. At one point thought he was getting attacked by a pack of dogs and went tearing across the gulch only to find him snoozing on a bed of nahiku grass.
Did I record here that we planted 2 more black sapotes, 3 peanut butter fruit, and surinam cherry? Well, we did.
After the wwoofers knocked off, I got the weedwacker going and continued to clear terraces around the pond. Fed the fish some leftovers from lunch. That is really a good way to "dissolve tension", feeding the fish.
Raked a lot of the mulch from the terraces up to throw into the chicken run.
