It took over 20 years of gardening to realize that I didn’t have to work so hard to achieve a fruitful harvest. As the limitless energy of my youth gradually gave way to the physical realities of mid-life, the slow accretion of experience eventually led to an awareness that less work can result in greater crop yields. Inspired in part by Masanobu Fukuoka’s book, One Straw Revolution, my family experimented with gardening methods which could increase yields with less effort.

Esperemos que este tempo agradável se mantenha mas não devemos esquecer que o frio ainda pode aparecer: já aconteceu muitas vezes!

Neste momento, a prioridade está em limpar os tufos de flores vivazes e as gramíneas que secaram durante o Inverno pois os rebentos jovens já começam a aparecer junto ao solo.
