And a new batch of almost mature hens are now free range. Once they’re old enough for organic layer feed we can co mingle them. Should start laying in a couple weeks.

Nice time of year! Organic Earli Grande peach variety from Kula Hardware makes nice big buggers! And no fruit flies up here🤙🏼. Great with Roselani vanilla ice cream! Onoliscious 🍑. These are from an established white peach tree (common upcountry) and we grafted the Earli Grande variety on to it. 🎯🤙🏼

Added sound to the forest. I wonder if the trees appreciate it. We do.

Clermontia arborescens. In Hawaiian it can be called Hāhā, Ōhā, Ōhā wai or Ōhā wai nui. These grow nearby in the Makawao Forest Reserve and they sure are happy. I’ll go back soon to catch them with buds open and blooming. Someday our restoration areas will be mature enough for these to join in.

Planted our first Ohe Mauka tree. A gift from a wonderful community just down the road. Also some new Ohia growth among the clovers. And some new gorse sprouts popping up in a few of the Ohia plantings!

One of our native sandalwood has produced berries! More validation from the ‘āina that these native plants are the best intended residents.

Cousin Aina is a smooth operator in this excavator. Clearing this space along the fence will also let in more breeze and light. All good for the 142 Ohia and 80 koa seedlings already in the ground, safely on the other side of the fence.
