Week 10

This was, maintenance-wise, was the same as most weeks - we weeded. The weeding process seems to be getting easier because our crops are growing so big that the weeds are getting shaded out. However, they are not going away completely around our plants because most weeds are C-4 plants which have a higher photosynthetic rate than C-3 plants (most vegetable crops) in hot and sunny conditions (like most of the year in Florida). This is not all entirely bad though, many weeds are edible! Photographed below is sorrel, a tangy and delicious weed.

Sorrel, so much sorrel
