Late September on the Farm

Everyone works on the farm!!! Weve got milking to do, hoofs to trim, building to paint, plants to harvest and seeds to plant!














I'm busy seed saving spinach here, earlier it was kale and char I was saving. Now that bed is ready to be replanted...except for those two little green pepper plants that are still producing lucious green peppers for our stirfrys!














Our WWOOFers are really happy to be here and really enjoy the varied tasks as well as the oportunity to do things they wouldn't normall get the chance to do!!















WWOOF stands for World Wide Organic Opportunity Farming...check it out on the web.

Plus we get to enjoy the fruits of our harvest such as the cherries canned in mid summer turned into a lucious cherry pie!!!

Tomato & Pumpkin Fall Harvest - not exactly stellar!

Well, so much for growing tomatos this year!!
I only got one or two red ones out of the bunch,
I will say that the bushes were really healthy and there was no rust or other diseases on the plants for the first year in a long time.

Here is the largest pumpkin I've ever grown!!
It's yellow still, but it's a beaut!

This one has a lot more growing to do, don't know if it will make it as it's the middle of October already.

This one looks more like a striped watermellon, but it's a pumpkin.
