As the days get longer, life springs forth. Almost daily there is another example of the season. The garlic is up and thriving.

Our kitchen garden is pumping. Salad anyone?

We just celebrated our third annual Whanganui Permaculture Weekend, alongside Adult Learner’s Week. Events included a hot composting workshop.

Demonstrations of the rocket stove…

… and solar cookers.

We’ve had some beautiful home kill lamb.

Tomato seedlings went in the ground yesterday.

And finally, the poplar poles are showing their first signs of life.

Peace, Estwing
