Summer at heavy rock farm

We have had an amazing group of young people staying with us as wwoofers and helpx.
The temperature has fluctuated wildly from 23 C to 48 C. This is wonderful except with no rain
the vegetables don't grow. Wild rain dancing has been done with no results.
Then our daughter arrived from Hawaii and guess what - it's raining! of course.
Zucchinis are so tasty this year with our blended heavy rock seeds.
Nothing beats our heavy rock garlic. This has been a labour of love over 18 years of seed saving,
growing the most wonderful cloves. As usual I have been preserving the garlic, with any different
flavours tried. Last years pickled garlic is still nice and crunchy.
We are now looking for a wwoofer for general farm work including picking, packing, weeding and
feeding animals.
The main stipulation is that you must like dogs, have a sense of humour and laugh at least once a day!
Our last 2 male wwoofers were absolutely wonderful. I now have a bathroom with a seat and grab rails
and Allan has new sideboards on his ute (Keanu)  The wiring sorted on his ute and our cub cadet ride on
is now a starter every time. How fantastic to share our home with these young men.
I cannot forget Tomako (Tommy) who is the best garlic sorter of all time!
Cheers, safe and happy travels to all.
