These are some of the garden plots.

I learned that when you add the pictures they go to the top of the list. The first is one Elder Olson tilled for Rose Dallas, who is a widow, with several grand daughters. They put the fence up.

The next one belongs to Delaine Henry. She and her brother put this one up. Notice how neat and tidy it is.

The third picture shows Darrell Maloney opening the door of the traditional Navajo hogan where his brother lives.

The fourth shows Darrell Maloney and Elder Olson. Hidden behind their heads across the highway you will find Wayne Smith's home and garden.

The next shows Wayne Smith's garden. You will notice that there is blow sand being used to fill up the right side, where it is a lot lower than the left side.

The next belongs to Haskie and Geneva Black who live on a rock basically. We were surprised he could find enough dirt to till. We had 3 little trees that had volunteered to come up in the flower garden that lies between the apts. Elder Seeley said two were apricot trees and 1 Siberian Elm. We gave them to the Blacks who were thrilled. Elder Meldrum didn't realize what they were and was going to till them under until Elder Olson saved them. We thought they were apple trees. ;o} The Hopis raise a lot of fruit down off the Mesa below them. One of their mesas is just north of us, less than 2 miles away. When you cross the intersection the time zone changes.

The last which should be first, is what gardens look like in the spring. They have some cleaning up to do, but it was a great garden last year and should be again this year. They had a root cellar they used for years and years, but the snakes liked it also, so they had to do away with both the cellar and the snakes. Makes my hair stand on end just to think about it. They have a huge garden area within a hundred feet where they grow lots and lots of vegetables and fruit.
