Mud Brick Palace Back To Basics - Week 36, Year 2





Sowing seed or Planting -
Planting
  • 3 Virolay English Spinach

Observing
  • A did a fantastic job of terracing one of the slopes
  • He also set up the new bucket potato towers
  • The tree Dad removed from the garden bed will make a real difference to summer growing
  • only one of the snow peas came up, will have to plant out some more

Planning for The Future
-
  • Weekly work plan
  • Menu Plan

Working for the Future -
  • Work on the site is continuing, A has got everything up and running and it should only take me until Monday to get all the products in now that I have a reasonably clear run at it. Orders have been done manually this time round but having this infrustructure in place will make my life so much easier for Autumn ordering.
  • Put up my wondrous hot house ready for planting starting in the next few days.
  • Removed 2 trees to give the hot house better sun access and remove obstacles from a working garden bed

Building Community -
  • Catching up for chat and cake with some of the last PDC class run by the teacher I worked with last year
  • Donated Bread to the Sherbrooke Transition Towns Soup Social

Learn a new Skill -
  • learning all about private power poles and defect notices.. I need good energy to ensure the answer I get back this afternoon isn't going to cost the earth

Linda's family have had quite a run of luck at the tip recently. Between trampolines and skirting board, children are being exercised and problems being solved the tip is showing it's worth in many ways.
