Working toward next year’s harvest

‘Tis the season for the shortening of days as the nights grow cold with frost and freezes.  Did you see the “cold moon” rise on Tuesday?  Beautiful.

When it’s not raining we continue to tackle the weeds, and rake up the maple leaves or lay straw to mulch the garden.  Our hens are a great help with the weeds.  They are now fully ranging in the enclosed crop areas as well as in their summer pasture.  The free foraging makes for some delicious eggs, and it’s the best thing ever for our soil. 

The dogs love to help with weeding, too!

And so do the cattle.
