And still the grass grows…

We’ve been using the slower growing season to get on top of many jobs around the place. Pulling out old structures for long dead vines and digging out old weed matting has left us with a much easier mowing task in the orchards.

That extra time was immediately soaked up by giving our old tractor a service and some TLC to hopefully give us a trouble free busy harvest ahead.

Early starts weeding and clearing grass

It’s the time of year where we have to get on our hands an knees clearing the year’s growth around the plants and their weed mats. There are no shortcuts but it’s hugely satisfying work…. we’ll be able to crush golf balls with our bare hands by the time we get this all finished!

Early starts during the Winter weeding season!
