Introduction to Seed Saving
11th April, 1:30pm - 3pm, Kaicycle Urban Farm, 5 Hospital Rd, Newtown
We know many of you couldn’t make it to our seed saving workshop in March, so we’re going to run it again for April! Seed saving is an ancient practice and an essential tool in creating a circular and resilient food system and enabling kai sovereignty. It also allows us to select for seed that will thrive in our micro-climates, strengthening crops year by year. We'll wānanga about the importance of saving seed, understanding the whakapapa of seeds and plant reproduction, and what you need to know to start saving seed yourself. We'll put our learnings into practice at the farm, saving and processing seed from our summer crops.

A hard job but a must... for healthy fruit

A hard job but a must... for healthy fruit

This month fruit thinning is ideally on your mind. It’s an orchard job I rate above nearly all others as it makes such an epic difference to fruit quality and tree health.

Thin when fruits reach marble size, leaving one fruit per cluster. I like to drop them on the ground to return the carbs to the tree - circle of life 🌻

This pear is in desperate need of thinning…
