Chamba

Work. Finally I'm uploading pictures from this month at the ranch.

I really feel like I've done a little bit of everything (and alot! of other things ;)

Upstairs in the office:
Counting bags
Counting labels
Folding labels
Counting codes to go on labels
Putting codes on labels
Counting and organizing all the materials for each order

Downstairs in selection and packing:
Selecting/cleaning/weighing/packaging herbs
Packing the bags of herbs into boxs
Labeling the boxes
Sorting and taping the boxes together by each store's order. (Think Walmart: Oaxaca City, Mexico 1, Mexico 2, Mexico 3, Cuernavaca, Acapulco...etc.)

In the field:
Harvesting
Weeding
Seeding
Propagation
Transplanting

Hanging out with Baldemar and Alejandro while they:
Identify and record the pests and disease we find in each field
Checking on the tractor, aka mules ;)
Mix-up chemicals and supervise fumigators
Check-up on the fertilization via the irrigation system
Send flats of herbs to contractors
...Explain everything to me and answer my questions.

I'm loving my time here. And now, el rancho...
