Moonshadows are one benefit of the shorter days. Yes, this has been a Cat Stevens reference.

A window into the production path of your food.



​Darkness is upon us. In the morning I mean. I said it would happen and now it is. The sun rises at 6:58 am. We are going to have to start a little later in order to be able to see what we are doing. But that doesn't mean there is less to do! 

Care for plants weeding and thinning, watering and seeding
Harvest harvest harvest- did you know last week we harvested over 250 pounds of delicious cabbage, along with around 1,000 pounds of tomatoes, a couple hundred pounds of kohlrabi? And that is just the big stuff. 
Finish ground prep and seed our cover crop!
Order our seed garlic and prepare to plop it in the ground.
So much weeding (yes, it is on the list twice...)

I barely have time for canoeing!
Gotta go, burning daylight over here!​

See you at market!
