The fall of 2010 has been delightful. Perfect fall weather - sunny, blue skies during the day and cool temps at night. The weather report says that we're supposed to get a hard freeze around Thanksgiving, so I went out and took photos of the tomatoes that are still growing that will, no doubt, not make it through the week. Wonder if these are what could be used for fried green tomatoes?
Garlic gets planted in the fall and Chet put down hundreds of cloves in about 8 different varieties. We'll be selling garlic in the spring.
Garlic as far as the eye can see |
Chet is working on an addition to the existing coop so we can keep more birds comfortably. We're calling it the "West Wing". It's got a big picture window to let as much daylight in as possible. More daylight....more eggs.
We're also at the point that we're considering culling the girls that aren't laying anymore. It's just not feasible to feed animals that don't produce. They're not pets anymore. I couldn't have said that 2 years ago!
