Planting Leeks for Winter

At Amida France we are in the midst of our Summer Programme with Dharma Teachings and outdoor life. Generally the centre has only been open in summer months but this coming year we intend to make a further attempt to keep the centre open through the winter. Last time we tried to do this it stretched our resources too far, but now things have grown a little it is time to try again. Certainly being here through the winter months can be a great experience and little by little we improve the living conditions though they remain rustic. So this summer we are stock-piling wood for the winter months and planting some crops that may continue into the colder months.
