I'm offering a 10% discount on in-person pickup orders for the next two weeks. The code is "summersale". Its looking like its going to be a dry year here and id like fewer plants to water! The discount will also apply to the summer workshop offerings! Photo of pomegranate flowers in the greenhouse.

There's rain in the forecast but will it actually materialize here on denman? I have a ongoing joke with a friend (who is a commercial grower) that "they" use the carrot of rain in the long-term forecast - just out of reach but never materializing- to falsely maintain our hopes and keep us functioning. Dark, I know.

We still have space in our summer course "Water Management for a Mediterranean Climate". Its August 14 to 17. We plan to share our knowledge and experience on how to grow food without needing to rely on these phantom summer rains. I think this year will be a really good pressure test of some of these systems.

The faint horizontal line across the photo here is a spreader swale that i dug last winter. It takes winter water excess and moves it across across the orchard, - keeping it high up - to hydrate the soils, instead of just letting the excess water head straight down towards the ocean.

Here is a link for more information on the course: https://treeeaternursery.com/shop/ols/products/water-management-for-small-farms-in-the-summer-dry-season

I'm curious to do a vibe check with other local growers: is anyone else getting increasing anxiety in fear of a hot and dry summer? I find that people who don't produce food usually love a "full sun" forecast on their weather app but for me I always cringe on the inside.
