Planting time

Boa Ano Novo - Happy New Year

We have made an early start with planting our spring crops. So far this past week we have planted cabbages, broad beans, peas, lettuce, raspberry canes and strawberries taking full advantage of the mild weather and rain to wash them in. The potatoes are chitting away and whenever there is a break in the weather we are out getting more seeds in the ground. When the rain has been too much, taking cover in the basement to linseed oil all the beehive boxes ready to go back out into the apiary in the next couple of weeks. We have an abundance of citrus fruit, kiwis and kaki (sharon fruit) to keep the vitamin c levels up.

Next week we hope to have our Spring, Summer and Autumn programme up on the website so keep a lookout at http://www.ahimsa-portugal.com/ We still have spaces for our free Spring Working Retreat if you are interested...just visit the website for more details.
