This is our garden now. Harvested and a little bare but not quite put to bed for the winter either. We have compost to mix in, straw to cover it with and a few more things to do. We harvested the last of our tomatoes and dug up about 10 lbs of carrots. Onions are still in place. We transplanted the sage and oregano to containers and will continue growing them in the basement windows. We also started containers of basil and cilantro. We are now reviewing how we felt things went this year with a few corrections.
- Tomatoes need more room and better support. Their carrot companions need to be reachable.
- Zucchini needs more room and protection from the squirrels
- Acorn Squash has the same needs.
- We will be growing corn next year.
- And the chickens won't be allowed in the garden because they add too much nitrogen to the soil.
- Fencing is in our future.
- And we need a way to put up small hoop house like structures for fall and winter stuff.
Eggs!
All of our chickens are now laying eggs about 5 per chicken week each. Which means that we will be working to supply eggs to others. They started by laying some of the cutest little eggs I've ever seen. Yummy too.
"Whats Available": The New Section to the Left
You will note a new section to the left. I will be posting egg availability. For those who want to have eggs, come on by and pick them up. An email or phone call to me will get it all set up. Donations for the feed bill will be accepted.
There will be other things available as well - mostly herbs for this winter but next year we'll be adding to the list.
