Haggered Sheep, Tomato Plucking, Comfrey Picking & New Dude



I went for a hike to Ruckle park over the weekend, it was so beautiful and lovely by the ocean etc. but what was really interesting was along the road walk back there was a flock of sheep hanging out eating in their pen. There was this really rough looking one with a bad haircut looking so sad. 






Lovely Sofya garden manager/chief operator, stewarding the farm with her knowledge and intuition. We pruned tomatoes today which involved removing new growth, their getting big! 


My comrades picking comfrey. Comfrey is a plant that grows all over the land. We pick piles of it, squash it into big bins and let in rot. 2 weeks later we open the bin, and dilute the rotted comfrey with water. The dilution is a really nutritious fertilizer for tomatoes and other plants. It smells like ASS when its rotted. 



New guy Brandon (with the hat). Pretty humorous addition to the crew, from the T.dot. He says 'far out' alot.
