Veggie bins: I had no idea that lettuce could survive a minus 9 C winter. This year we had an unusually harsh frost that killed all the citrus and avocado trees, all of the bananas and damaged the olive trees… but the lettuce came through it just fine! Who could have imagined, frost hardy lettuce!

Dawn to dusk burn barrels. We put them on the tree stumps that we want to get rid of. It usually takes about three days to burn one out. Tough work, but it gets rid of all of the windfall branches and sticks, and gives me some purification time with the fires.

Last spring we started a little project to clean up some fallen trees that had been overgrown with blackberry and blackthorn thickets. We were hoping to clear what we thought to be a flat area about 8x8m to use as a storage area for gravel and tile. As we cleared we found that the flat area of thorns and deadfall was a bit bigger than we had expected. 120mx9m

Big storms and downed trees last week. The wind came in from the north, which is totally unheard of here. It took out a bunch of lovely old trees, mostly the ones with unhealthy or diseased root systems. So sad.
