Then winter came in...
No wait, back to the rest of summer! We planted an acre of peas/vetch/oats cover crop.
I was thoroughly startled by a cecropia moth caterpillar. (I think that's what it was)
We grew a nice array of tomatoes in all sizes and colors
Admitted to ourselves why you shell out more $$ for UV stable plastic. To be fair, it was the 3rd season on this cheap big box store plastic for the door. So maybe the cost is a wash, but the cleanup and repair is no fun. But, what did I fix it with? The cheap stuff.
Mulched the heck out of the cane fruits
Eleanor inspected the carrots
And then we pulled em out. Still enjoying them well into March
Winter Rye cover crop germinated after all the peppers, onions and summer greens were tilled in.
Grew some great fall salad greens!
The rosemary kept cranking along.
The Farmall hydraulics stopped working and we ended up replacing the hydraulic pump. Darn!
Beavers moved into Baker Brook...
And Turkeys invaded the front field...
and voles.
Once winter socked us in, and nothing was growing anymore, the wind blew some great drifts
Just last week we made our trip up to Fedco to get supplies to do it all over again in 2015!
