A hungry goat is an angry goat.

A hungry goat is an angry goat. So to prevent that they got us working hard to make sure they got enough to eat during our long white winters.

I was not easy to dry grasses this summer with the enormous amout of rain we have had. But this week has been really nice and some true Hokkaido weather returned. The weather we all love so much.

Busy with a million things, but with more new rain coming we had to get the straw bales in, otherwise they would go bad. At least the goats will have plenty to eat and there may be enough left to make a start at the straw bale house i want to build.

It’s hot, it’s chili.

Chilis come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and hotness. These chilis make a great border or pot plant and are handy to have around when you want to spice up your life a bit.

Plastic mulch.

With the forecast of a cool summer, i thought it be a good idea to help our heat loving eggplants a bit and keep their feet nice and warm. Now the long term forecast has changed to warmer and drier than usual. So now the plastic mulch serves well to preserve moisture and suppress weeds. Maybe not the most ideal organic way, but it certainly works well.
