The Organic Diaries- Step 3: The Learning of Lessons

We spoke too soon.

The entire shed had come down like a line of dominoes because of the culprit branch!

The next morning, one weak branch had gotten most of our shed down! (We just knew we shouldn’t have used that one!) The rains had lashed out at our shed all through the night and been a real test for it. And, in the end, the shed gave way.

We had to start all over again- this time the shed was going to be indestructible!

We began reconstructing it; this time with even better branches we chanced upon!

Everybody trying get the sheet over the structure before the patch could get any more rain!

Everybody lent a hand and we were ready in less than half the time we had expected to take on the reconstruction.

Mr. Arun from Baghvan, our partners in this organic venture, making sure the knots were tight.

Ankit Pogula, our facilitator working hard on the shed.

One last check to ensure our shed was going to stand tall against those rains. We were now all ready to get our hands dirty with the sowing!

With only the sowing left now, we could let out a sigh of relief!
