yep, weeds suck. but alas, i am apathetic and end up just tearing up the weeds in the areas i wish to transplant my sprouts. oh well.

so we now have 8 pumpkin plants and 3 maple sprouts. i'm not sure what kind of pumpkins they are but the seeds are from the 70 lb. pumpkin our neighbor had last year. the variety of maple i am unsure of as well as i just picked up a few "helicopter" seeds and planted those, and i'm also growing a few others that my housemate, aaron, and i found already growing in our garden at home. yep.

the sunflowers around the rock formation have for the most part been knocked down or trampled on, not really sure which. hopefully a one or two of them will survive. but the ones on the other side of the plot are doing well. soon the SECA site will also have cucumber bushes and peas growing because yesterday...aaron and i left the seeds we bought out in the rain so we pretty much have to plant all of them soon or else they will be no good. yep.

good-day,

this weekend i learned about people using sunflowers to clean up toxic areas. the plant absorbs the toxins, cleaning the soil in which it grows. when they have reached the end of their life they must be destroyed as toxic waste. after a few cycles and some checkups the land can be used for safe urban agriculture. pretty incredible.
