The grove at the farm in the first days of the first heatwave of the year. We’re busy harvesting the camomile and working with our new distillation machine for the first time, but the heat means we’ve shifted to our summer work schedule; starting earlier, escape the sun in the afternoon, and a long shift from late afternoon into evening.

We’re planting in the vegetable garden at home, seeding in the nursery, and have moved the plants out of the hot greenhouses into the shade. There’s much to do, and we have to be more efficient with our time, especially with all the online techie stuff we’re working on.
