The following is a raw image feed for the purpose of later determining what plants are where and who planted a particular plant. Rain and low light conditions reduced resolution and inhibited proper autofocus for many images.

Post-script 21 Jan 2008

• Ihney's papaya behind the sugar cane is not extant.
• Andrew's attempt to plant Ocimum tenuiflorum using a cutting failed (as expected). Lesson: This is a plant that has to be started in a peat pot from a seedling, not a cutting.
• The Ipomoea vines thrown on the ground by the Kosraens all died. Lesson: grow from seed in a pot early in the term. Use peat pots to simplify transplanting.
• Lisa's tapioca did not survive. Used plant top, left leaves on. Tapioca is planted using leafless main base stem.
• Of three sakau plants planted, one is growing, one is not yet dead, and one is dead.

The 21 January 2008 GPS grid does not agree with earlier grid work, there is a shift of up to 0020 south, and some indications of 0010 west. The complication is that all of this is underneath the resolution of the GPS, which was running at a huge 21 meters at some points.
