We have decided to make a garden, or Huerto, as they call it here in Panama. The dirt looked great with just a few rocks we felt we could clear. However, when we started digging, we found some big boulders, some weighing in like this one at about 100 lbs or so. I had to use a lever to move this one out of the dirt, along with help from Lynda. We did it, but I am afraid we still may find more. But it is good exercise, and gives us some things to do in the morning before 9 am.We hope to make this a garden of wonderful vegtables for the family that lives down the road. They are very poor, and we are going to be building a small home as well for them. This garden would be theirs as well. (we have to teach them how to care for it.)
