The kids, including Joshua and Kalvin shown above, got outside the other day to put in some work in Agape’s garden. They worked for about an hour weeding, collecting soil samples, and getting really muddy!
The garden has been a tradition at Agape for years, and we hope to have a lot of success this year in providing fresh fruit and vegetables for us to eat throughout the summer. Mrs. Jennifer and her husband Andrew have been hard at work leading the gardening effort this year. They, along with Sergio, one of our high school students, tilled the ground in preparation a few weeks ago. The next steps include adding lime and gypsum to the soil, getting horse manure from NC State to serve as fertilizer, and building boxes to hold the rows of plants.
If anyone out there would like to donate some knowledge, time, or supplies to our garden this year we would love to have your help. We could even compensate you with some nice, fresh vegetables as soon as they come up!
