Spring 2019

Our Winter break is well and truly over - as we enter this long daylight time of our season. Over the next 22 weeks, we delight, revel and make best use of our 13+ hours of sunlight each day.

The process also produces fixed carbon which is secreted through the roots into the soil. Plants fully utilizing their photosynthetic process are not only producing nutrient dense food for us humans, they are also taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and transforming it into soil based carbon stores. Pretty amazing - really! And how lucky are we humans to eat plants which have truly used soil, light, carbon dioxide and water to grow and thrive!
