Access to land I can get my hands into is a non-ne

Access to land I can get my hands into is a non-negotiable need for me. I have an internal alarm clock that goes off if it’s been too long since my fingers touched the soil - just before the alarm goes off, it feels like an internal fog is setting in.

After a string of much interrupted nights with my daughter, I SO needed this alone time on the land this morning. I am reset. It’s a reminder that at my core, I am a land girl. I’ve worked hard over last decade to shape a life that allows me this level of intimacy with soil, plants & all their connections. I’m grateful for my fierce commitment to this today. It is essential in motherhood.

I planted out some sweet nectar flowing offerings amongst the herb beds for the pollinators this morning - mostly Vetch, Lupin & Phacelia with some clovers intermixed. Feels good.

I have a reoccurring dream of women’s hands working away at the soil. This photo really reminds me of it.

Grateful for compost, grateful for new beginnings, grateful for my feet on the earth, grateful for many Calendula medicine children 🌱

Check out this self-seeded Mullein with magical glowing edges at the herbal apiary garden. I always sense that the ones that have the chance to self-seed hold a special medicine.

And why not? Our own peri-natal & birth experiences have a huge impact on us. Why not the same with plants?

Looking forward to watching this one grow tall.

This morning I’ve been processing trays of crunchy, freshly dried nettle ~ the deep smell of mineral rich earthy goodness is filling the house. Just yum! & especially yum to me today because I’m about to bleed & starting to crave fats, iron & minerals.

We have been so fortunate over these past weeks that sunny spring days mean our solar thermal system is already heating both our water & our drying cupboard enough that I’m not needing to power the dehydrator to dry the herbs.

I’m noticing how this naturally fast, hot air-drying method is preserving more of the oily, fatty medicinal compounds of the nettle. I’m looking forward to gathering in some more from the herbal apiary this afternoon ☀️
