The drive to this trip sucked—especially because I was behind the wheel and the windy path promised a couple of swerves. I probably thoroughly frightened Cameron into never carpooling with me again. Poor guy!
After all the past fieldtrips, I was completely confused when we arrived. I knew we were planting, but to arrive at an empty field left me dumbfounded. Where were the native plants? I expected to at least see SOME. And then it clicked. Of course, we were the first to put them into the ground! Past fieldtrips also taught me to dress warmly… but on this special occasion, the sun damned me to hell and back with its relentless heat.
Split into groups, we found only one person in our cluster that knew anything about the positioning of plants. He took the position of leader by default, dropping off the pots in certain areas and suggesting where to plant them. Our group unceremoniously began planting as soon as we got the go-ahead, and finished in no time. Our quick work was rewarded with a few mugs and some little donuts. I was proud of everyone for doing such a good job, but at the same time I was disappointed in my failure to get any decent pictures. Oh well, maybe next time.
