OCTOBER ON THE FARM

We’re starting to see the first signs of the changing seasons.  Our grass cutting has all but stopped, maybe one more cut for good measure before we put the mowers up.  Our Confederate roses are blooming along with a couple of other blooming plants Annie has planted around the house.  The collards, broccoli, and cabbage plants we have planted in the raised beds in front of the market are growing and looking good.  And Marc has been spending a lot of time on the tractor getting fields ready to plant, and then planting, winter grazing for the cows; there are 4 fields planted now and an 11 acre field that will be planted around the second to third week in November.  With cooler weather coming in we are all getting ready to do this year’s winter projects and looking forward to how these changes will affect the farm once the projects are completed.
