Kōanga on the farm

Aotea Almanac

Kua pūmahana te whenua, me ngā otaota, me ngā rākau.


The earth has now acquired warmth, as also have herbage and trees.

Mahuru the goddess of spring reemerges as the days grow longer. Everything on Aotea is coming alive. 

Our hands are in it. Cuttings through the nursery, soil beds prepared. The farm begins to warm, pipiwhauroa calls and kūmarahou breaks yellow - a sign it's time to plant kūmara too.
