A small plot, observed over time

Limited water, exposed soil, young plants and seasonal decisions. This is what I follow here.

The project moves at the land’s pace: I observe water, follow plants, manage cover and pruning, record failures and decide what needs attention first. I am trying to understand what may build more soil, diversity and autonomy in this place, without easy promises.
