3rd May 2020
The first cold snaps are upon us but the bees are still coming and going with #2 Hive as busy as always.
We've covered up some of our younger trees (mango, macadamia, avocado, guava) from the upcoming frosts, as it's a bit of a stretch to grow them here, but we will see. Another lovely 12ml of rain recently watered in the last compost 'hand out' before Spring and our native grevilleas are flowering and attracting the bees and birds in numbers. We'll pick the last of the pumpkins shortly, this lot do look a bit 'interbred!' but a nice crop this year despite getting trampled at the start by next door's escapee ponies.
Happy Birthday to my darling Dad who would have been 92 today.

Our property has been entirely pesticide-free for 10 years. We use organic, composted inputs & considered management to build soil health and engender nutrient-rich, tasty, quality produce whilst also growing many flower types for the bees.
We are grateful for the guidance of like-minded consultants, help from our beloved Woofer and also friends not adverse to a spot of hard work! The natural cycles of weather encourage us to keep learning. They also challenge us, and our plantings, to adapt and thrive! |
