Good Morning, well more rain today......one greenhouse is almost replanted. Need to get the beds set in the second one. Last round of flats are getting seeded this week. Late plantings in the fields look good but the constant clouds for the last two weeks have really slowed them down. Chickens have been processed and sold. Ducks are next in mid-November with about 10 of the old laying hens. At least the lawn has slowed down so that I don't have to mow it. It does need one more cut before winter though. Alot of ground cherries out there but it's been too wet to harvest. These will be a great candidate for a temporary tunnel next spring. The list is getting smaller but still has quite a few things on it before the real snow starts to fly.

Well market went well and the rain held off until about 1:30pm. Meat chickens were done on Sunday morning. That job went very well and quick. Birds looked very nice and they are all sold. Planting in the greenhouses continues today. Time to rototill and reset the other large one. My list continues to get smaller, progress just seems so slow and something else always comes up. No frost in the forecast yet and hopefully we will see a bit of sun this week. Still trying to figure out winter housing for the laying hens. Trying to avoid the annual manual shoveling of the manure in the spring....

Well October has arrived looking and feeling more like late November, ah well. The greenhouse ditches are dug! Need to clean them up a bit and then I start laying the drainage tile and backfilling. Now to get the contractor out here to finish the project..........what is it with tradesmen in general up here? Winter planting get's started in earnest today. One greenhouse is all set so the plugs and direct seeding is going to happen. Alot of stuff to go in. Market this weekend in the rain.
