Planting a Potent Trio

Today during our preparation meeting Elder Haynes said he would be teaching all of us how to plant garlic, onions, and leeks. He advised that even though these plants were all similar and would go in the same box, they each had different planting needs. He asked that we gather around Box 42 later on in the evening for his planting demonstration. 

Here is the wonderful garlic that is ready for transplanting. Look how tall and proud this garlic stands.

                       

Elder Haynes begins his planting demonstration of the garlic.

A few missionaries jumped in to help with the garlic planting.

Observing the steps.

      

Recording the lesson for future missionaries.

Next up was the onion demonstration.

      

     

And now we're getting to the leeks. Do you know what a leek is? We learned that it's a cross between a garlic and onion. A real hybrid plant that's been around a very long time.
