Well the cold wave continues. 23 up here this morning. Supposed not warm up until Monday...finally some sun in the forecast as well. Trenching project is finished and the last greenhouse is 80% planted. Off to the market today, not sure how that is going to go. Quite a few people seem to be under the impression that the market ends on the 1st of October? My brother is up to help close the camp. Little late and a little cold for that but its going to happen with rain and snow tomorrow morning.Next job is to move the chickens into winter quarters, clean up the fields and asparagus, get the wood pile put into the basement, mow the lawn that one last time and then start worrying if the winter salad crop is going to come in and do well........ah well here's to next season and the hopes, optimism, and new ideas that always accompany it. Lot's of things to build and repair this winter for the farm and the house.

Snow on the ground and more falling out of the sky this morning. Transplanting continues today as well as filling the ditches as long as the rain does not become too abundant. Yes it is a wee bit too early for snow damn it! Well need to go find some salad for a customer. I'll try using a broom to sweep the snow off to locate it.

Well one greenhouse planted, one more to go. The clock is ticking. Really having to push to get things done around here. It's going to be close. No sign or word from the excavator to get the drainage project finished. I will try calling again........well off to the "office" which means the business end of my shovel. Only two more walk ways to dig/shape then I can frame the beds and start planting. October continues to be overcast and wet. Could really use a few days of sunshine to dry things out and get the plants going a bit.j
