Well BIG weekend ahead! The past moths I have done a little work each day towards this weekend and more. In the fall I began the soil restoration, heavy cut back of large shrubs and trees, removal of one corner pole for my veg shade cover. Then over winter I grew my starts indoors only to put them outside in the cold frame early because the heat/ cold rollercoaster was happening.... Spring came early and plants normally growing into April "Peaked" in March. Toms had no chance with this heat wave [any temp over 100f means no tom fruit set.
Then I changed out another pole for the shade cloth, moved the chickens, prepped more garden space in hopes of a cooling trend but No!
So here we are Weekend 3, Day 5 hosting the Spring '26 PDC [permaculture Design course]..... more shading, break out the patio umbrellas, need to have on the A/C.....while I talk about Water!
Did I say it is The Vernal Equinox [when it feels like Summer Solstice].....even so if you dont have your Equinox shade patterns mapped then this weekend it perfect.
HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE.

Regenerative living is a revolutionary philosophy rooted in reciprocity, creativity, and care. At its core, it asks not just how we can reduce harm, but how we can restore, heal, and actively give back to the world around us.
