Joe's first week in the garden

My first week in the garden was a challenge. Mainly this week we were cleaning up the garden and the Earth Boxes and preparing to fill the Earth Boxes with new soil. With the Earth Boxes we had to remove all of the debris from last year that was in the Earth Boxes. That took a lot of work and a long process of cleaning the garden and the Earth Boxes because of the rainy weather conditions that week. I learned about one particular vegetable that I was assigned which was salad arugula. Salad arugula is a dark green leaf that could be added as a spice in a salad. I learned how to grow it and how long the process takes for it to grow completely. We also watched a movie this week called "SuperSize Me". The movie was about a guy who goes on a challenge of eating only McDonald's for every meal, for a whole month and aside from that, it explains how the food is processed and how it is not healthy for you. I have learned a lot from this movie and every time I watch it, it makes me think twice about eating fast food.
