Spring Weather and Gardening

This year is the first one in over fifty years that the sun is allowed to shine fully on the Fruit Farm gardens.
We have been steadily clearing the forest around the Farm for four years. The sun now is able to come streaming through our valley without hindrance and strike our gardens as it rises from the ocean.


Below are the primary vegetable gardens that supply us with 80% of our yearly vegetable consumption. This photo was taken at 7:55 in the morning. In previous years the forest blocked the sun until nearly noon.



Magnus is renovating the Herb Garden in order to utilize the fantastic sun exposure for Tomatoes and other Sun Lovers.



Magnus is sporting his new Summer Hat that Konswan knitted for him, as he removes the Rosemary hedges for translplanting. The new hedges will be placed in one of the newly available areas recovered from forest land.
