Let planting and sowing take center stage this month, as we look to not only our summer tables, but our winter pantries as well. October is one of the busiest months, but well worth the effort. Dig in! It’s a job well suited to many hands, and a good deal of patience, for we must wait for the season to turn, before planting summer crops.
Most important are the long term crops like pumpkins, yams, peppers and kumara. Temperatures must be warm enough – they won’t thank you for cold feet!
If waiting gets too arduous, or time feels like its slipping away – fake up some heat and provide extra protection – my simple ways are in this month’s newsletter. There’s no hurry at this stage – its only the 1st of October, and every day we shift ever more towards the sun.
Kick your boots off and garden barefoot for an intimate, direct line to the warming of your soil (and so much more goodness besides).
Yours in the earth,
❤️ Kath
