A few days ago I was gifted a good quantity of chillies from permaculture friend. I pondered whether or not to make a chilli jam as I have been privileged to enjoy my father's homegrown and homemade chilli jams, which are beyond compare. After a little research I decided to give it a go, add tamarillos to my recipe (also gifted by same friend) and I am pleased with the result. My first ever batch, Chilli & Tamarillo Jam, it turned out hot, hot, hot and delicious 😋 🌶 😍 🔥

~~HAPPY EQUINOX~~🍁🍂⭐️

March 20, 2025, brings the Equinox, a time of equal night and day and the beginning of Spring or Autumn, depending on which hemisphere of the world you live in.

It is said that on the Equinox, the energy grid of the planet moves into higher harmony, allowing us to soak in the healing powers of Mother Nature with greater ease. With the energy grid of the planet alive and awakened, we can also replenish our own energy centers of the body and send our thoughts and intentions out into the Universe for creation.

Along with this powerful Equinox energy, we also celebrate the start of the astrological year on this day. This is because, in Western Astrology, the March Equinox coincides with the start of Aries Season, the first sign of the zodiac.

As we move into the first sign of the zodiac, we begin a new journey, a new trip around the Sun, where we get to experience the energies and vibration of each of the twelve zodiac signs all over again.

The March Equinox, therefore, becomes a significant power day in our year where we can celebrate the new, welcome the fresh starts it brings, and set intentions for the year to come -words by Forever conscious*

Day 2 - Plastic Free July
The prompt is reusing what you have.

Care to share what you reused today?

I reused a cardboard box, shopping bags (which themselves are years old), my keepcup, and the list goes on.

The last couple of seasons has been tough with the decline in bees. Many plants needing them for pollination have consequently not been producing a harvest.
So imagine my delight to find this cutie just hanging around. I've actually not grown pumpkin before so fingercrossed it grows to all it can be and I will be be to enjoy it when the time is right.
