My name is Sean Spender. I'm a permaculture designer and organic gardener. This blog will keep you up to date as I design and implement a series of gardens for sustainable food production and education at Mdumbi Backpackers in the Transkei, South Africa in association with Transcape NPO and funded in part by Voices for Africa choir. The newest posts can be found up here at the top, and the oldest way down at the bottom. (p.s. if you click on the photos you can see them a bit larger)

The quarterly report...
So it's been 6 weeks now and this is where we're at...broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage well on the way. Volunteer tomatoes getting big and the butternut almost eating size. Ten varieties of tomato in the nursery almost ready for planting out, plus herbs and flowers. Direct seeding cucumbers and others this week. Two windbreaks up with gates, expanded boundaries and new fencing, an additional new entrance, half the shade cloth up, new header tank stand. Childrens garden area prepared for layout, production zone two almost leveled.
