*Worked with 4 volunteers weeding the peppers in the garden. The volunteers were much older than me which came as a bit of surprise to myself and to Amber who had asked me to lead them. Everything went along quite fine. I felt at first the older folks would not want to be lead by a young buck so I framed everything in the form of a question. Like for instance when I wanted to go and weed peppers I asked "So do yall think we should go and weed the peppers?". All of the peppers soon got weeded, and I learned of some great seasonal recipes from one of the volunteers. Soon after the heat took hold of us and we retired. *Carey took all us VISTAs to Planter seed company right by the city market. I was very impressed. We bought 6 varieties of seeds, 1 ounce of each, and it amounted to about 5 bucks, Ive never heard of such extrordinarily low prices on seeds. I was madly in love with everything, even the lady who rung us up who had an enormously beautiful mullet. Ill be back there for sure, it smelled so good.
