The rains have arrived in Kampala, which means it's planting season! (It also means a nice break from the very hot, dry weather we've had since the beginning of the year)

One of our papaya trees |
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am determined to plant something that will actually make it to our dinner table this time! So a week and half ago Natalie and I planted black beans, red beans, broccoli, cilantro, plums, and carrots. I decided to plant a wide variety so that at least one of them should produce a harvest. We also currently have papayas, maize, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, arrowroots, onions, bananas, and a few young avocado trees growing in the garden.
This weekend it had been dry for about 2 days so we went out to water the things we had planted..

I love Natalie's "gardening" outfit! |
Nathan wanted to help and just ended up getting wet!
Of all the things we planted, the beans are doing the best and are growing fast, which is encouraging!
