Well the greenhouses are finally planted, hooped, remayed, and the ditches are done. All the nick of time....I hope. Salad really needs to get a move on and fill out over the next 2-3 weeks or I things are going to be dire this winter. Cleaning up the farm today and trying to get all these other little jobs done that have to get finished before the serious snow flies. Once again I have promised myself no large projects next summer growing season. We'll see how that goes. Really need to focus on cultivation and weed control next year. Biotelo works very well but need to mulch the pathways heavily to keep weeds down there. No real easy way to do either without and tractor and the proper equipment. Need to find an old hay wagon too for the laying hens. All these little coops and the work that goes into moving everyone around is driving me nuts. Gotta go to the dump.......

Camp is closed and the weather was actually quite nice. The little apple tree in the corner is producing some really nice golden apples. I will try to get up there to harvest them next year. They were tart but tasted like a golden delicious. Neighbors got a little carried away up there trimming out brush and took out one of our cedar trees. Why don't people just call and ask? Market went reasonably well. Lack of product or variety of product is a big impact. Garlic and salad remain real popular. Weather is supposed to go back to normal this week. No frost and some sun. Finally have a chance to finish cleaning up the farm and getting a bunch of odd jobs done. Bye

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.
