Planting native trees 🌳 on the farm today - about 300. Such a feeling of satisfaction.

My husband's mum grew almost all of these from seedlings 🌱 collected from her garden and their farm!

We sprayed before we planted and these areas are below our woolshed, cattle yards and covered sheep yards, so are critical source areas when it comes to run-off.

In this video you see me, hopefully, giving this plant the best chance of establishment by putting in the wire hoops, which are recycled ♻️ and made from old fencing gear. It then gets a combiguard sleeve, which is pinned into the ground (again using recycled wire).

Grow little plants, grow!

A snapshot of our chaotic, action packed (sometimes at little too much action), fun life over the last month.

Mahia Hunt Week, opening duckshooting 🦆 where it's all about family and eating my body weight in duck casserole, a broken hand (yes, again), and Phoebe's first Rippa rugby 🏉 game...

Also ticked off my First Aid course, wrote a few yarns for Farmers Weekly NZ and tackled the comms role for our local catchment collective.

This story meant a lot to me. I grew up down the road from Julie, I looked up to her, and I even helped exercise her horses when I was a teenager. It was amazing to see her lift the Olympic Cup with her special horse, LT Holst Freda 🦄
