Our second trip to Potrero Nuevo Farm was really fun, but it was really cold too. When we first got there we signed a document stating that we are going to follow the rules of the farm. Then we went to the mint garden. In the garden there is spearmint, peppermint, rosemary, thyme and some other things. We pulled the weeds and the old twigs from last years plants. I also go to try a mint leaf and a peppermint leaf. It was really good. The peppermint leaf was very strong, but it was still good. While we were doing this we spoke about scary movies. Jay doesn't like scary movies at all. After we finished in the garden we went over to the rhubarb and artichoke. We pulled the weeds from the rhubarb patch and Suzie let us try it. I didn't really like the flavor because it tasted a little sour. Rhubarb is most commonly used for pie of jelly. We then went to the orchid and pulled the weeds from the outside so the gophers and other ground animals couldn't get in. As we were pulling them it started to rain, but we continued to work. It started raining harder and Jay and Suzie decided that we should go work in the green house. We cleaned it up and got it ready for the high school students that were coming the following week. After that we cleaned some of the planting trays and we called it a day.
