Finally, in 3 years we so seabuckthorn, at the garden of Nomads families in Sogog.

     
 Zastap Kindergarten greenhouse cucumbers are in full bloom and producing many cucumbers! However, the mice are eating some of them L Mr.Kadirbek, the new head of Zastap military, is learning about the green projects from those who have experience with growing vegetables.
   
 These two gardeners, Zukai and Rakhat are thinning the carrots in the Sogog Kindergarten field.  Some of the trees are growing very well, like the ones in the photo!
   
 Mrs.Bybygul  is happy to see the first seabuckthorn berries on the trees she planted 4 years ago.  There are many berries on the trees which will make nice jam, juice or simply an afternoon snack!
   
 Family gardens provide nutritious vegetables grown right at home.  Some neighbours have divided a large space for 5 gardens, one for each family. This way, they can help each other water and learn about how the plants are growing.  Some families also plant grasses for their animals.
   
 Some new vegetables and some familiar vegetables – Radishes are growing well, and people are starting to wonder what they should do with these red things!  Potatoes are growing in rows between these children who are learning from their family garden how these common vegetables are made.
   
 More trees planted in family gardens looking to be in very good condition!  The rain in July certainly helped them grow many leaves.  
   
 One of the local carpenters in Sogog built a food dryer so that we can preserve some of the green leafy vegetables by drying. We will try this with bok choy and spinach.

A carpenter’s training room is being built in the Sogog School! A section in the main entrance of the school was divided into 2 floors to accommodate this room.   
   
Growing vegetables requires some hard labour!   These threeguys spent the day weeding the potato fields in the hot sun. In order to aerate the soil and allow water to percolate easily,the top layer of the greenhouse soil is aerated by hand.
   
Sogog Kindergarten Greenhouse has its first cucumber of the season!  These diligent kids are helping to water the many cucumber plants.  Gardener Zuhai is receiving new materials for the greenhouse – water cans, a thermometer and string for typing the cucumber plants.
   
Replanting some of the rows that the mice snacked on.  And three days later…..zucchini sprouts!
   
   Bok Choy is growing very well!  We are trying different methods of preservation by jarring and drying.  This is a vegetable we have not grown before or used in our cooking, so we are trying new things!
