So an update of how these puppies are going! Miss Milo is doing so well with her new little brother Buddy. We are now at the two month mark of Buddy being a part of our family and he has been bringing so much joy πŸ’œ

The next cute part of their bonding is cuddling in with me, this is not helping with my study currently and outside work - way too cute to resist snuggles!

Happy Wendysday everyone x

Great to see the growth in the Saffron leaves over the last couple of weeks. Nearly at half a metre in length and some are starting to lodge.

Soil temp has now risen to 5.6, so we are on track.

Happy Sunday πŸ’œ

We are beyond excited to share with you that once again our results are in for our ISO3632v2 Saffron grading.

We are still Premium Grade 1 Category - wahoo πŸ₯³πŸ₯³πŸ₯³
Graham and I first started having our Saffron graded way back in 2015 and had annually tested right up until 2023. Our results had been so consistent that we gave it a break. However, this year I was very keen to check that we were still doing all the right things in the Saffron paddock, at harvest, at the processing table, with the drying and the storage.

Turns out we are - yippee, couldn't be happier.
Next up is our Ministry Primary Industries audit - which is required by law if you grow and sell herbs and spices!

Happy Wendysday everyone and we are starting the day pretty chuffed πŸ’œ
(repeat of our 2026 Saffron season for you - it was a goody)

Cutie pie picture for attention!

Not much happening here currently, chopping down some trees, rose pruning has begun and another foliar spray feed applied to the Saffron. That sums up the week!

After a very cold start to the week, it's been lovely for the second half, so off to work we go! Hope your weeks been fabulous πŸ’œ

Milo and Buddy are bonding nicely, and she has been taking her big sister duties very seriously πŸ€— So lovely to see πŸ•πŸ•
