November

Compost for the hoophouses!  I was going to get fall greens going in the hoophouses, but it just didn't happen, so we're putting down compost for some early spring greens instead.

For all that compost I needed to call in my excavator...


Prepared a new section of field for next year.  last year it was plowed, cover cropped with Peas/vetch/oats.  I let the vetch (and weeds...) grow this year.  Now it's turned over and all that organic matter is in the soil.  In the spring I'll get it ready for planting.


Done plowing


Crown O Maine picking up lots of Brussels sprouts!


And the cooler finally has a roof.  More shade for better energy efficiency, it's ready for snow, and better yet, no more tarps!
