Permaculture class at my place

Lay awake listening to a night of heavy rain and mulling over a big day ahead, and woke to a drizzly morning and an early start to the day. There was the vegan cake recipe found online to try (with my own lemons and rosemary), the weekend’s pumpkin seeds and dried olives to prepare for snacks, and a ‘leftovers soup’ to make while clearing the fridge and tidying the kitchen.

Slowly building up beds, planting holes and planting mounds to take fruit trees. First lot are due as bare-rooted trees shortly. Others to be ordered for spring planting. Lessons from past failures have been learnt.
