After a glorious several weeks with blue sky and no rain, we finally got rain last night with more predicted. We also had a hard freeze!

So we got the potatoes and squash out of the ground, and put cover crops in. Beets, carrots, parsley, kale and brussels sprouts still very happy in the cold.

We also planted several varieties of winter wheat that Dave had started as seedlings. This is part of the grain trials we started in the summer. At some point, I will provide a full report!

We spent a very pleasant Sunday afternoon at the Common Ground Fair, the country´s largest organic agricultural fair. No visitors to show around, no agenda, just wandering about. We ran into about 20 people we knew, which either tells you that we get around, or that the progressive community here is very interconnected. Maybe a bit of both.

Looking forward to Heather´s parents visiting this week.
