Time is flying by, I’ve been in Tanzania for two months. I didn’t even realize this until I began this week’s post.
This week, I’ve begun a new phase of my research. I’ve started to work on some of the soil health aspects of my project. That’s why I titled this post “Udongo uwahi umaji,” which is a Swahili proverb that means “Work with the clay (or soil) while it is wet.” This proverb resonates with me a lot more than strike when the iron is hot.
As always here are some pics from this week’s research:
Grinding and sieving soil!
Got back to trekking through tomato fields this week. This village is very flat and open (like parts of the Midwest!).
The tomatoes are getting big and some have fruits already.
Sclerotium rolfsii on tomato, look at those beautiful sclerotia!
