Although my intention was to delegate more this work season, in many ways I have been with seed and sack distribution meetings and tree nursery checks, I still managed to get my hands dirty. I, of course, have a small personal tree nursery in my backyard with cashew, mango, and papaya, but in a nearby village, Kekeressi, I organized a 400 sack tree nursery with Acacia Melifera for a live fence for the women's garden there with the volunteer who lives there, Jubal. With an afternoon of seed preparation (cutting and soaking) and manure gathering, we were able to put in a long day (nearly sunrise to sundown) to fill and seed the tree sacks. They are coming along quite nicely! Outplanting will be a lot of work but hopefully a work day with villagers will make it happen more quickly.
