Nick clearing the West field |
|
Gathering mulch for beds |
We are starting to close up shop. We've got parsnips, carrots, beets,
turnips, leeks, lettuce, collards, spinach, parsley, scallions, Brussels
sprouts and cabbage still in the ground. But all the rest of our
vegetable beds have been put to bed, with hefty doses of manure (thanks
workationers!),
compost and mulch. Nick is clearing a new field to the west of our
garden where we will put our pigs this spring. The hens have been moved to their winter housing. We are burning the burn
piles in the orchard space so we can bring in our friend with an
excavator to dig 30 tree holes. Our roofing material will be delivered
on Monday so we can complete the wood shed/rain harvest roof. And we are
planning out the foundation for our
future greenhouse. This point in the season is really a race against snow cover...
