The mandala, ready for new seedlings

The Mandala of St Monica, realized in November 2019, is empty!
The fertile soil of its petals allowed the vegetables to grow quickly, and be harvested early February.

Again, raised bed cultivation has shown its effectiveness, especially at the end of the dry season.
The crops have grown faster than in the rest of the vegetable patch.

For the second cultivation, the youngsters of St Monica surrounded the mandala with corn to protect the seedlings from the sun.
