The equinox has come and gone, and it’s all go on the farm. Longer hours of day light and plenty of water in the ground have vegetation in overdrive. Luckily, three interns arrived last week to learn and help out on the farm.
Strawberries are forming.
And plums.
The garlic is high.
And the grass.
Hawthorn is blooming.
And poplars are leafing out.
Bees are swarming, so our contracted beekeeper came to divide his hives.
The interns headed down the hillside to weed the young olive trees we planted this winter.
Followed by a lesson in goat pedicure.
And a dinner of solar chicken.
Happy the sun has returned.
Peace, Estwing
