			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>May means the beginning of winter here, and winter means rain.  We&#8217;ve gotten some good rainfall lately and have started to plant coffee seedlings in open areas of the farm.  Our coffee is Arabica typica, a variety that grows long and spindly and likes shade.  It also takes five years for a seedling to mature a produce coffee cherries.  We have two methods of getting coffee seedlings:<br />
1) Planting coffee beans in our nursery<br />
2) Taking young seedlings that naturally grow under adult trees from the ground and planting them in other areas. </p>

<p>We&#8217;ve planted 9,948 coffee seedlings so far and hope to plant more next week.  After we plant coffee, we&#8217;ll plant more hardwood trees in open areas.  We&#8217;ve got hundreds of tree seedlings in our nursery ranging from Jatobá to Brazil Nut trees.  (I&#8217;ll write more about the Brazil Nut trees in a separate post; this is the first year we&#8217;ve attempted to propogate them from seed, and they are amazing little things!) </p>

<p>Maio é início do inverno aqui, e o inverno significa chuva. Começamos a plantar mudas de café em áreas abertas da fazenda. Nosso café é arábica typica, uma variedade que cresce longa e fina e gosta de sombra. Leva cinco anos para um pé de café produzir cerejas. Temos dois métodos de obter mudas de café:<br />
1) Plantação de café em nosso viveiro.<br />
2) Arrancando mudas jovens que crescem naturalmente de baixo de árvores adultas.</p>
<p>Nós já plantamos 9.948 mudas de café e espero poder plantar mais na próxima semana. Depois que plantar café, vamos plantar mais árvores em áreas abertas. Nós temos centenas de mudas de árvores em nosso viveiro, variedades como Jatobá, Castanha do Pará, e Tamboril.  (Vou escrever mais sobre Castanha de Pará em outro post.  Este é o primeiro ano que tentamos propagá-los a partir de sementes, e eles são incríveis!)</p>

<p>One of our goals this year was to open up overgrown areas.  In these cleaned areas, we&#8217;ll plant coffee seedlings this May.  Our coffee plants like shade, so we keep as many trees as possible.  The photo above is a picture of recently cleaned area of the farm.  We&#8217;re so excited about all of the trees and planting space!  If you look closely, you can spot Lorenzo in the background.  This particular area is on a steep incline very far up the mountain.  It was a tough hike to get there, and by the end Lorenzo and I were both looking for excuses to stop and catch our breath.   </p>
<p>Um dos nossos objetivos este ano era a abertura de zonas de mato brabo. Nessas áreas limpas, vamos planta mudas de café em maio deste ano.  Nossas mudas de café gostam de sombra, então tentamos manter todas as árvores no local.  A foto acima é um retrato de uma área recentemente limpa.  Estamos encantados com as árvores e o espaço! Se você olhar de perto, você pode ver nosso cão Lorenzo. Para chegar nesta área subimos uma ladeira valente.  Foi uma caminhada difícil, e no final Lorenzo e eu estávamos procurando desculpas para parar e tomar fôlego.</p>
