Farming on 5/3

Today we planted a lot of different things. We planted chives, white bulb unions, melons, nasturtium, and marjoram. For the melon patch area of our berm we put up two bamboo sticks and tied them together so that the melons would have something their vines could climb up. The chives and marjoram were both transplants, from elsewhere so they were already doing quite well. We actually split up the chives into two separate plants. The carrots have also made some noticeable progress. But they weren't the only things that grew. We noticed a bunch of weeds popping up(mostly grass). Our teacher said that it was because the soil for the entire area was just tossed up dirt that had grass on top, so now the grass is just trying to peek its way through the soil. It was fairly breezy and cloudy today. It was around 65 degrees. For next class we have to transplant tomatoes, and plant cucumbers, peppers, and possibly strawberries.
