Let's just say that today we are doing the last of the planting. Which is the garlic for next year! It's going to be a party with neighbours and friends helping out. All this week Greg & I cracked open 200 lbs of garlic heads to be able to plant the cloves. Our hands felt a little raw after that!
It was also the last of the CSA week. It's been a good season, and I was glad to be part of this project. The markets are also coming the an end. Greg is presently at the last Cumberland's Farmers Market. We are still going the Brewer's Market till the end of October.
Fall has finally set on the farm. Feeling it this week with the extra 3 or 4 layers of clothes. And socks. And extra blanket in the tent! Leaves falling, cold breeze settling and geese flying, it's a whole other world now.
Haven't been taking as many pictures as I should have, but here's some from this month!
Enjoy, and happy fall!

Here are some pictures of the old dairy barn I took this week, it can get creepy in there, but I had Marilou follow me the whole time to chase the spirits away!
