But The Cold Still Remains...

This weekend we got a small storm, escorted by wind, rain, hail and biting cold. I hope all you kids are wearing long johns under your Hallowe'en costume!
The CSA is over, last week was the final week. It was a wonderful experience, and we plan to do it again next year.
We planted our garlic a couple weeks ago. And the only thing really still growing in the gardens is greens; lettuce, mustard greens, kale, swiss chard and Health Kick Salad Blend. And cabbage and carrots for storage still need to be harvested.
Garlic for planting

All the animals are doing well, and are getting a taste of the end of season pasture. The chicks are nearly large enough to be moved into the chicken coop with the other chickens.  Also, in spirit of the holiday, we slaughtered 9 of our ducks, and we have one cow hanging in the slaughter house.
Happy Hallowe'en!
