winter has arrived

Temperatures have dropped and things have slowed down growing.

Microgreens are taking a few days longer to grow so have had to change the planting schedule. We plant twice a week now that we have started a weekly stall at the Hokowhitu Village every Sunday (still plant for Friday restaurant deliveries and Feilding Farmers Market)

It is time to trim the chilli plants I want to over winter and start thinking about planting seed for next years new plants. We are slowly making our way around the flower beds up by the house mulching before the spring bulbs take over (they seem to get put at the bottom of the to do list, income producing beds first priority)

I have been given some more garlic to plant so must get on and make a new bed up for it.
