Jardin 2024

Started the year by re-structuring the rampart garden lower terrace

First job in the  jardin was to clear the fallen trees and prepare the logs 

Tried out our new  ploughing machine
- a gift from Claude  

Built a bridge across the stream from the trees that I cut down 

Updated my equipment with a new chain saw, bushcutter and hedgecutter

Tercia set up a plant nursery in her studio.

The heavy rains resulted in a wonderful spring flower display and mists in the valley

May 11th started planting sunflowers, broad beans  and squash. Ceci was unsure whether it was fun or not . Still snow on Ventoux

took the logs up to the store after salvaging them from the under growth
