March 9th - Continuing with the spring clean-up and some renovation. Chicken coup moved the far east of Veggie bed for the Spring season, while the West side where they spent the winter will be the spring veg bed, so I'll need to prep that bed before the rains so it will be loaded ready to plant.

Next was the compost turning/sieving re-making to one bay.
On-going has been my veggie starts in the cold frame growing ready for the Spring veg bed.

Hoping to do all i want to get done before the March 29th Garden Tour, more on that later just save a few hours for the tour.

Cheers Don

I did not know about the bees...........

It's that season again already. If you are looking to enjoy a display, please support your local organised event. This is far safer for your family and your neighbours. Keepers of animals can be prepared and help their animal companions better if they know when fireworks are going to be happening. Families with people with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, PTSD can be prepared rather than when there are random fireworks being let off across multiple days/weeks from all directions which can be extremely terrifying.

It's wonderful that there are now quieter fireworks available, let's hope for a move towards their use or silent ones if that is ever going to be possible. 🙏

Happy Summer Solstice, AKA Mid-summer's day

CELEBRATE THE LIGHT – HAPPY SOLSTICE

"The Solstices are a time to stop, and to look back on where the half-yearly cycle has brought you; a chance to look forward and see the direction in which the next half yearly cycle may lead you; a moment to be conscious of your life’s flow and direction; a time to express your hopes and fears, your intentions; to assimilate your learning and celebrate your achievements; a time to celebrate the light; a time to celebrate the dark; a moment to be conscious of the way this waxing and waning of the Sun affects our lives, and to celebrate this influence and what it means to us."

"But more than this, it is an acknowledgment of the coming return of the dark.
Here we are called upon to value the power of the dark cycle as a necessary part of the whole, to celebrate its rich potency, its nurturing and receptive nature, and see it as a gift, vital to us all and to the Earth. Amidst the revelries of high summer, take a moment to acknowledge the equilibrium and balance this brings, and celebrate this too." Glennie Kindred, 𝙎𝙖𝙘𝙧𝙚𝙙 𝙀𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙝 𝘾𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙗𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨

Summer solstice, Midsummer, Litha, is a time to celebrate the light and the dark, the constant changing of the seasons, and how we are deeply connect to Earth's cycles.

Happy solstice to you all. We hope you can take time in your day to connect to the light and to the earth.

Bee amazed

DID YOU KNOW?

🐝There are live enzymes in honey.

🐝When in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die.

🐝The best way to eat honey is with wooden or plastic spoon.

🐝Honey contains a substance that helps your brain work better.

🐝Honey is one of the rare foods on earth that alone can sustain human life.

🐝One teaspoon of honey is enough to sustain human life for 24 hours.

🐝Propolis that bees produce, is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics

🐝Honey has no expiration date.

🐝The bodies of the great emperors of the world were buried in golden coffins and then covered with honey to prevent putrefaction.

🐝The term "honeymoon" comes from the fact that newlyweds consumed honey for fertility after the wedding.

🐝A bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime.

🐝One of the first coins had a bee symbol on it.

Deep gratitude to the humble BEE!🐝
