more digging in the dirt

I'm glad that everyone has had success in their projects. In retrospect, I guess I could have committed to some fasting myself along with my project. It's great to hear all the things that have been encountered when beginning a different lifestyle.
The last time that I was out at the garden, I was there longer than usual and it seemed like I got less done. Some weeds are more resilient than others I guess. But I know that in order to get the job done right, you have to spend time at it. If you don't try to get the entire plant out of the ground, you risk it growing back again. Hopefully, more work now will mean less later. I appreciate all of the others that have been helping. My project will be ongoing. I have been taking photos as the hillside has been cleaned up and I will continue until the project is finished. I live in the area and will hopefully have the opportunity to work on the hillside during the winter break. I look forward to seeing it completed and am excited to be working on a project that will benefit those on campus for a long time. Everyone should stop by next spring and see the results. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
