Drove up to farm early(ish) this morning. Got here around 10:15am. Forgot to bring the pumpkin that I processed last night. Mowed around the paw-paw patch (the paw-paws themselves didn't need it). Also mowed around the persimmons - was able to mow a lot of the brush area because its been so dry. I am tempted to run the tiller over some of that area to smooth it out and maybe add some dirt so it doesn't get so wet.
Anyway, I surveyed the place - the radishes are up! Here are some pics:
I went to Kellers and got some fuel and a sandwich. Also stopped at HT Market and got some candy and apples. After we got home (Smokey is with me) I ate the sandwich and WAY too much candy. Napped for a while then went out to work on clearing around the red-barn. While over there I noticed that the rose hips are ripe:
Maybe I will pick some tomorrow. I worked on clearing the trees i knocked down last week. I got the chainsaw chain into the dirt a couple times so thats going to need sharpening. I dragged off a bunch of the trees and brambles near the big field - maybe I will burn those some day. Didn't finish. Still pretty tired. I want to pick the cabbage and start another run of sauerkraut before I leave this weekend. I am thinking of sending Seth a text message asking when we can arrange shipping my backhoe. I really have lots of ideas of using it! Just tonight I was thinking that the grounds around the red barn need to be smoothed and re-graded. Also, the bridge i waned to cross the streams is possible now! I think I have enough long logs for the spans and with a backhoe I can put in posts much more effectively.
