Cucumbers are ready to harvest. The skin can be a little bitter so these cucumbers are best peeled.

Excuse my walking video 😬 This is my Huxley-Ranger. We couldn't decide on a name so he got 2! He's 12 months old and LOVES to swim! Also if you know a dog groomer please comment we could do with one ;) .

So so thankful for neighbours who lend us their tractors for things ours can't do around the farm 💕💕💕 and for my Dad who is happy to help me! This stuff is for our new hay paddock! One of our goals this year is to do everything on our property. For the health of our animals we want to know their feed hasn't been sprayed. Nutritionally dense human and animal food is so vital. .

It's called spot the ginger and turmeric! This is the highest we've had the flood water since the big floods of June 2007. Now the question is, can ginger and turmeric survive swimming for a few days???? .

When we have no rain or we have flooding we design

When we have no rain or we have flooding we designate sacrifice paddocks. We don't rotate during this time as we normally would to prevent the damage drought/flooding can have on the soil. After these periods we then replant and regenerate these sacrificed areas. This is one of the sacrificed paddocks that we regenerated only 2 weeks ago. We planted a mix of legumes, herbs and grasses as well as plants like sunflowers whose roots can go down 2m to help with compaction and bringing nutrients back up to the topsoil. Giving back to the soil is a vital part of how we farm 🌻
