So I finally finished leveling the patio area in front of the trailer. The rock retaining wall now goes a lot further.

The uphill side of the rocks is a swale. Currently populated with Chaya cuttings. But as the swale is finished, those will be moved further away, and the close plantings will be buckwheat and monkey flower mostly. Maybe a white sage plant too.

The patio area is prepped for sheet mulching. cardboard is finished, but I'll need to get a carload of mulch from Griffith Park when I'm down in the city next. (I'm a bit of a mulch snob when it comes to my space. Griffith Park has the best free mulch)

Finally getting sun today. My batteries are going to hit 100% in an hour or so. I can put away the catalytic propane heater - probably until next winter.

Can probably take the covers off the trailer roof vent and skylights too. Rain becomes rather unlikely in June, and if we do get some it's a sprinkle unless we get some monsoon activity this year.

But as I understand it we're looking at a strong El Nino - so we may get tropical cyclone activity in the Pacific, making some summer thunderstorms possible but I can always keep buckets/covers handy. Should have plenty of warning unless it happens when I'm at dance for 3 weeks.

We are happy to release the interview we did with the Arise and Shine Group in Kenya, located in Salgaa town, about halfway between Nairobi and Lake Victoria.

This is one of the groups that we were able to equip, train and incubate thanks to the support of the Janson PrimeSteps foundation.

For us, their persistence and success in this tough climate has meant a lot over the last months! Get to know them for yourself!
