Late Summer Activities-2016


Labor Day weekend is always a time for new beginnings in The Food Patch. On Saturday the squash, Roma tomatoes and various herbs were cleared off to make room for fall stuff. Soon to go in are cauliflower, bok choy and lettuce seedlings as well as a row of kale, collards and chard. This should get us up to first frost and early winter. Soon, about half of the patch will be seeded in winter rye so the chickens will have something green to forage on in the depths of winter.

And yesterday was the first of the fall brew days up in the Oak and Iron Nanobrewery. Got to get those bottles filled for winter!
