Process: 11/7/11

  So for the last couple of days we haven't been able to do much hands on work on the project. Nidia and I have had a chance to work on getting some grants for the garden though. We have been able to work more and more with the farmer and I think that this team work will result in a very successful product. The farmer sent Nidia, Josemaria and I some links and more information on a number of grants he thinks we will be able to get if we actually get on with it. I feel like we will apply for them and hopefully get them. As i had mentioned in previous posts we plan on working on the garden every Thursday, that plan continues. I feel as though this might become an issue as we move forward with this project as I also have cheerleading practice on that day. I will have to work on a solution for this minor issue but I feel confident that this won't cause that big of an issue.
