My brother-in-law is a 5th grade teacher and he has started a garden at his school. During the school year, he uses it to teach math, science and responsibility. He is growing enough pumpkins for each class in the school to have one in the fall. Since school is out for the summer he doesn’t have help to keep it weeded so we have recruited our 4-H club to help. As we weed and are able to harvest produce we will deliver the food to a local food bank.
We had several girls volunteer to help even though it got to be 105 the day we weeded. We weren’t there 30 minutes before my brother-in-law made mention that he was surprised at how much we had already got done. He didn’t think we would get done near that fast. I told him that he underestimated the work ethic of horse girls. They know how to work. I was proud of the girls and their willingness to get up and be weeding by 8 am.
Here are the rows of carrots before we started working on them. 
Here we are working at weeding.
Not a bad job for some "girls". My brother-in-law kept saying we did not need to do a perfect job. 
We were able to pick a few carrots for our horses. I know the girls' boys enjoyed seeing them when they got home.
