It was a beautiful day today. Katy, Paul, James, Lorna, Antony, Linda and Peter sowed about 2/3 of he tobacco field. It has other growth pretty much covering it, so erosion isn't a worry. Then we scouted building sites on the far side — and found locations for some members homes. After garden maintenance and planting of more raspberries (tho there was some damage to the first one Anthony put in… we may have to cover these), we hauled in some water from home in buckets; something we may have to keep doing to keep water supplies up.

We had an absolutely terrific day of gardening progress, and a perfectly delightful evening and meal around the fire pit.
We got more garden beds planted, and we now have a reliable watering system in place.
Highlight of the evening was a delightful pirate shipfaring duet sung by Anthony and James – all of it duly recorded for the Hart’s Mill historical archives of significant events. It doesn’t get any better.
Stay tuned for announcements about upcoming working parties.

The Hart's Mill land committee met tonight to discuss housing options and accessory buildings placement on the property. USDA's NRCS has a program that assists in farm planning and HM will be pursuing that and combining it with permaculture site planning to come up with the optimum plan. Several members are planning on Passivhaus homes, while others will be more conventional.

In spite of a high of 45 degrees F, four brave souls swung axes, handled saws and trimmed branches yesterday clearing a path for power to be brought onto the property. The powerline will be buried alongside one of the entrance roads and terminate near the middle pasture where a transformer will be placed. The next step will be to erect a powerpole and bring service to it where a workshop/shed will be constructed.
