Busy Week

It's been another busy week. Here's a list of some of the things occupying our time:

• irrigating (a few short ago, I was lamenting over how wet the fields were, and now they are dry!)

• hilling potatoes - for the second time

• picking beans

• having one of our cows bred (we missed Belle when she came into heat last month but caught her this time)

• drying garlic (for another week or so)

• making another move-able pen that can be used for the turkeys now and as a greenhouse this winter

• eradicating squash bugs (which have been overwhelming for us this year)

• getting everything in order for our organic inspection later this week.

Yes, it's been busy but also productive!
