Lucy’s Birthday Shindig
October 6, 2010
This past weekend we hosted a farm-themed gathering to celebrate Lucy’s first birthday. We went to Fluvanna County’s “Old Farm Day” and enjoyed refreshments back at the homestead. Don’t worry; we took pictures. In addition to plenty of Lucy pictures, we took a couple photos (1, 2) of some machines to see if people could guess what they do. We think we know.
In other news, things are wrapping up pretty well in the garden. I planted an oat cover crop and a clover cover crop over parts of the garden. The clover should give the soil a charge of nitrogen and organic matter, and the oat crop will hopefully provide a bit of cover for garlic that we’ll be planting soon. I hope to get the rest of the beds planted in the next week so there’s at least a little growth before winter kill. We expect the three younger chickens we have to start laying in a couple of weeks. With days shortening like they are, laying will probably not be an everyday thing.
