July 15, 2009



This is the thirty-second day of my research assistant role of the Youth Garden Project. Today's location was at Tuskegee University Greenhouse.

GROWTH HAS BEGUN!
The Gourd has been used by man as far back as we can tell, since the very beginning. A gourd grew over Jonah to shade him from the heat as God used this vegetable to teach Jonah a lesson about forgiveness. Pottery and utensils dating back to prehistory may well have been fashioned and made after the shape and uses of gourds.

We are not going to be using the gourd to shade anyone but we will be using the gourds for a future project with the children of SafeHaven to make birdhouses and other decorative items.
