June 30, 2009



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

Ashton, Morgan and I went on an off-campus expedition to the community of Ridgewood to retrieve some bamboo wood to stake the tomato plants up properly for maximum production of tomatoes. Upon arrival back at the greenhouse and a quick overlook at how some of the other farmers stringed-up their plants, we proceeded work on our own plants. At first it was hard to get the bamboo wood to stand up straight and support the plants because we were digging the holes for them instead of nailing them into the ground. Through trial-in-error, some of the plants had their proper support system.
