Day 10 Getting down and dirty......

Ok..... so I woke up this morning thinking I would go to the garden for a relaxing day, connect with mother earth and water some plants...WRONG! Today end up being hard farming work, knee deep in mud, we fertilized the whole plantation, manually hoed the ground ready to plant more tomatoes and spinach. Then we planted the seeds and watered by hand. It may not sound like much but it has to be the only day where the sun was directly on us and about 30 degrees and we got really dirty......

After a hard 5hrs in the sun we come to Kenol for lunch and a cold drink with Kally, stock up on the luxury's....chocolate and chill out for the afternoon reading a book until the children come home from school. Then it's all go from there... it's love, play time and homework :-)

  1. this was the first day that Kally ever complained about the heat. She got on Skype just after getting back from lunch and she looked hot and sweaty. Good work on the farming. It's hard.
