Farming

So, what kind of work did we do?

Our main tasks each day included feeding the chickens and the cats (morning and evening). In the evening we would let the chickens roam free, while we watered the plants. Watering once the heat of the day was gone was important for saving water and staying out the heat. Victoria had three main beds that follow <b>permaculture</b> principles.

We planted several plants that Victoria bought at the flea markets. And we put up chicken wire around a garden to protect it from the chickens. We also helped out with tasks around the house: general cleaning, patching up the clay walls, updating the website for Victoria's son's guest house, etc.
