March is one of the best months here in Maella, the weather is warm in the day and cool at night and all the birds, insects and wildflowers are coming out to enjoy the mild temperatures. We have been working hard in the garden, getting ready for a new season and eating the last of the winter cauliflowers before they run to seed.
This morning I had the opportunity to take a walk around the farm without anyone else around and see all the little changes that have been happening lately. We have quite a few on-going projects at the moment that have been progressing nicely…
We want to be part of the solution, we want to continue living on the earth in harmony with nature and so made the decision right from the beginning that we would not plough the fields and terraces of the Freedom Farm.
We are planting up a hugel mound with Mouse repelling plants.
Terrible news! The cauliflowers and brussel sprouts that I’ve been growing up and just this week planted out into my hugel mounds have come under attack.
