Weather or not ,not a typo, or a spell check error . Our weather has been unseasonably warm and wet .It has not been conducive to getting the few things done on the farm before the Winter sleep sets in . Warm is not such a bad thing but wet has been a hindrance .
Fence still needs to be installed around the Aronia . Bees need to be fed and the hives need to be prepped for Winter . As long as the weather stays warm ,none of these are critical . The critters ( Rabbits and Deer) are still foraging greenery so the Aronia and Blueberries are safe and the Bees are still foraging a bit with late fall dandelions providing the best last hope for nectar and pollen .
Back here at the shop ,we have honey supers to extract ,that I will begin today. Should be approximately 200 lbs ,a good harvest for a drought year .
A farmers work is never done .
