Sprinklers are back to work again full-time in the mushroom shade house, ready for hopefully another wonderful Shiitake harvest season. Organic fodder is growing as always for the chickens, baby ducks are running around like little rotten two-year olds chasing bugs and getting into trouble. Recently the guineas even thought it would be fun to leave the gardens and take off in the woods and roadside ditches all day long. Reckon they just wanted to see how life is like on the run. They did, however, neglect to pack water so they came back home just before dark - thirsty.
Changes are coming as this area of the south will experience a yearly "second spring". A time when it cools down from the summer heat a bit. We are planting more varieties for late summer/fall/winter harvests that I'm sure you will enjoy. I'll label them so you can become familiar and add a recipe or two for your creating pleasure. A quote I recently read states "Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower". This even holds true in this area, the colors of the leaves may not be as dramatic as those north of us but each has beauty. This reminds me that I want to make cement bird baths, bird feeders and hypertufa planters using leaves of our elephant ears, mulberry and other local large and/or interesting shaped leaves. Hmmmm. Must put plans in motion before the leaves are marred or gone.
Happy almost fall, thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to do what we love.
