square wednesday

A jacket this morning?
A jacket this evening?
Low of 40 tonight?
I am in heaven!

Started with a tour.
Weed pressure, mad low.
Mowing must be done.
Pasture weeds are seeding.

Mile long harvest list.
3 days to gather.
Incl: Kale, Chard, Radish
Turnip. Have missed them.

This morning we harvested
the last of leeks,
the first fall radishes
and yellow wax beans.

I jumped the tractor.
Attached the potato spade.
We made a decision.
Adirondack Blue for Saturday.

After lunch, harvesting potatoes.
One 400 foot bed.
Digging through the dirt.
900 lbs in all.



Finished up beans afterwards.
103 lbs in all.
Just scratching the surface
with what we harvested.

Finished up my day
by hitting the mower.
What else to do
in such beautiful weather?

Another thought on mowing:
I miss the angles
of the big city.
Nice to make some...

Forgot to mention yesterday.
D planted cover crop
this past Friday afternoon.
Watered in by Hannah.

Oats, Rye, Vetch, Clover.
Oats slow to grow.
Rye is much faster.
This in 3 days.

Here are a few
pics that I forgot
to post last night.

Err.. umm.. yeah. Dig.
