We’re been planting our winter vegetables, and trying to move another step towards having a more sustainable permaculture-based farm. While we used the tractor this time, we’ve now created smaller beds with walkable paths around each, so that we can move from machine-based to hand-tilling methods as we harvest.
We have planted peas, spinach, radish, carrots, beans, and mustard seeds. Cauliflower, cabbage, eggplant, capsicum, tomatoes, and green chillies are little seedlings. Next, we’re waiting for the potatoes to sprout eyes so that we can cut and then plant them.
Winter flowers too are scheduled for planting next week. We’re really looking forward to seeing all the rich produce and pretty colours in a few months!
