Today is Winter Solstice, the first day of winter, and following the longest night of the year, the time to celebrate coming back into the Light.
We like to do a garden project on Winter Solstice, and this year we are building a new veggie garden! We have to fence it in so the chickens don’t make trouble, and this time around we are going to make raised beds to weather any flooding.
So, we started with the fence posts around the perimeter, and Friday we got some eucalyptus planks for the beds (a gift from a friend!). We worked until dark to make the first borders as you can see from the last photo.
Today we’ll level and set the borders, and if we have time, put up the fence. Then we’ll fill up the beds with media from the mulch pile, and start building up the soil inside the beds so they are ready for spring planting.
Come spring we should be harvesting a lot more of our own food!
Be well, dear flock, star warm and safe wherever you are on this Winter Solstice. xoxo
