Struggles in a New Environment


In the first week, crops are facing much difficulty in the new environment.
              • Too much heat are wilting the lettuce and broccoli







Therefore, we started mulching both broccoli and lettuce.




Now, they look much better





  • Animals are eating the crops especially the broccoli and lettuce.
We had to replant some of those crops. 




Broccoli,
in the process of replanting.., 

For permanent solution against the animals, we built chicken fence.

(beans and mache)




-Best of Luck to these crops
N give lots of love
