Inch by inch, row by row

Someone asked a while back in the comments what sort of gardening goes on in Itipini. Here, at last, is an answer.

Many people, though by no means all, garden around their homes.

A major component of the after-school program is their garden, which they plant and tend year-round. I’ve lost count but I think they are on their third crop this year. As you can see, their corn gets quite tall. They either keep the vegetables for themselves or sell them in town.
