'Ulmos' trees in flower

The bright yellow bloom of the Ulmo tree is a sure sign that winter is definitely over, and warm days ahead. In fact it reached 20c today, a perfect day for the '18' Independence of Chile celebrations.

Ready to Lime

The vegetable garden has now been fully dug over and is now ready to lime - being close to a volcano, the soil is quiet acidic! However, it should be ready to start sowing the first crop by the end of September.
