Harvest day

Each first saturday of the month at PEACE farm we gather and share skills to grow food together.

This month we built a pond for our mandala garden.  Only a few days ago it was only a pile of dirt... Thanks to the joyful hands of the children who helped to co-create!!!




Mulching was also a big part of the day to protect our little seedlings. 
We used hay, freshly cut around the mandala garden.


We trained tomatoes


Children were also well looked after, going for a ride to the dam!



And now, let's go for a walk around to see what's growing...
We can find lots and lots of potatoes


beans


lettuces


and we can find a variety of flowers. Here is some poppy! 


We concluded the day by a first harvest for our members: 
leaks, spring onions, beetroot, lettuce, garlic, coriander. 
Thank you all for your contribution!
