Planting

Today we will plant our first garden. We are a bit behind the Basotho; my friends in the mountains just informed me that their maize has germinated. We had come up with a plan to keep the dogs from digging in it. The dogs have decided to put craters all over the yard, but they had a particular interest in digging up the garden plots. Every night. Nathan finally constructed a fence around one plot so we will begin the joy of gardening today. It's a great day to do it too, since it is overcast...not too hot, not too cool. Even though I have a long history of plant killing, I am excited. :)
