Hola, hola, hola! Months are passing by like crazy :) Junij started with a Wood Workshop in which we made four Bat Houses… And I know you are wondering 'Why bat houses and no some pretty normal bird houses?' and here I am to tell you why. In the orchard we have appletrees growing, and you wouldn't imagine who likes apples more than Matjaz… Right! The moths 0.0 (Sure you thought about it, at first I didn't) Our unwanted friends come during the night and lay eggs in the apples, and nobody likes harm and sandy apples, no? SO, here's the thing: during day the birds around eat some posible apple-predators (unfortunately not slugs, that's another chapter) but during night there's no birds, I mean, those fellas must sleep a little, and here is where our HEROS and HEROINES 'The Bats' make the great move. Bats work in the night shift eating the moths around, so we made the houses to encourage them to move in the orchard. As a result we end (more or less) with the problem (for more info ask Matjaz 'bout the hormones spray) and also we increase the biodiversity in the farm (making Steiner and mother earth proud). Done with the class, it was really fun to re-learn how to use some wood machines I've always admire carpenters works and for a couple of hours I could play to be one.

Some pictures I took during the match, I'll let you enjoy :) Once again, I close another chapter of my stay here... June is already over, berries too... What will I become??... *dramatic sigh*
See ya soon for new things in July! It's festivals time and other stuffs, let's enjoy this summer !! 🔥
OK. Can we please talk seriously for two minutes? Like. I don't know how I'm suppose to survive without eating strawberries and bluberries from the farm for the rest of my life. Apart from the wild ones, I don't think I can find better fruits. Help me. I am lost now.
I went to this very interesting course of wild herbs, as part of the Festival Nabiralništva which is happening in all Slovenia the 1st of June with workshops and the 2nd of June with a market in Ljubljana. Super interesting! We had a nice chill walk with a few stops to talk about the wild herbs: from common reed, elderflower to medicinal broadleaf plantain. As well we have found some mushrooms! In the end we had a malica with wild-herb skuta and freshly baked bread on fire! Mmmmmm!  There are so many herbs and plants we have no idea about their potential. Well, I'm gonna study a bit!
Zdravo everyone! I just wanted to share with you these precious birds that sing every morning next to my window in Gaube 📷 😍 |
