My first four hours at Pacifica Gardens went well. I started at 10am and finished at 2pm. My actual mentor, Ann Mason, was not available for the day. Loretta, the temporary mentor, guided me through some of the things that I needed to learn before I began. First, we had to clean out what is called a bed. A bed is an area where plants can be grown. My group had to pick out weeds and other small plants that had to be removed for new ones. We uprooted the weeds so that we don't destroy any roots or soil. Then we threw away any weeds or unneeded plants. After cleaning the bed, we planted cover crops to fertilize the soil. We used fava and Austrian Peas for cover crops.We then planted them, then watered the bed. After watering the crops, we covered the bed with agribon, a sheet used to prevent birds from picking the crops.
