Return to Water in Africa

 

 

I'm helping to water my friend Julie Bednarski's tomato plants. Also growing in the garden are lettuce, celery, eggplant, bell peppers, green onions, beans, and Chinese cabbage, which is a favorite of the Malagasy people. Julie gives each plant about half a cup of water daily and fertilizes her vegetables with cow manure.
