Oh the excitement of spring!

28/09/2026

I’ve been quiet posting because this time of the year there is so much work to do out in the garden, so much weeding and planting. The potatoes are in and the first lot have sprouted up which is exciting, the beetroot is in, Chamomile & Calendula done, some tomatoes and pumpkins are in, and I’ve planted out my Dahlias! Fruit tree Blossoms are everywhere and beautiful. Also, one of my chicky babes is not like the other and I have discovered that he is a rooster so we’ll be getting swapped out with another chicken. The “Forget me nots” are just stunning and they are everywhere this time of year. They are one of my favourite little flowers. Water blasting done, we even have cut down a giant tree! Spring is such an exciting time in the farm!

Did you know Black plastic is made by mixing standard plastic polymers—such as polyethylene, polypropylene, or polystyrene—with a dark pigment called carbon black. Additionally, many consumer items and takeout containers are manufactured using recycled electronic waste, which can transfer toxic flame retardants and heavy metals into the final product.
I used to see clients and help them clean up their home environments. Here are a couple of tips for you.
1: do not cook with plastics, or teflon, stainless steel and cast iron are much better.
2: air out your house and clean dust , clean sheets weekly, try and keep a mould free home!
3: look at your water! What’s in it? How can you improve it?
4: swap plastic food storage containers to glass and stainless steel.
5: don’t use scented candles or synthetic fragrances, these can disrupt your hormones etc. So swap for essential oils and natural smells. Use pure Beeswax candles.
6: cut your vegetable oils and foods made with seed oils. Use oils such as Beef Tallow, Coconut Iil, Olive oil, Avocado Oil, check ingredients to make sure they are pure.
There are many more tips including what you use on your body but here a few to start on.
