Cleaning up for the year
The lack of a serious frost until this week allowed us to leave crops in the ground much longer this year. These Waltham Butternut squash would not have been harmed by the frost but many other things such as tomatoes and pumpkins would have been damaged. Nonetheless, we finished cleaning up the main gardens the weekend of the 12th and then plowed, disced, seed in winter rye for a cover crop and cultipacked for good seed to soil contact. And now we have not had a lick of rain in two weeks!! I feel like I am feeding the chickens the winter rye more than the soil.
Hello! My name is Garrett Brown, and my family is for whom Brown Rd was named and that was our homestead 1845 to 1985. I am astounded at what you have done with the old barn and am anxious to speak to you about it and the history! Please contact me when you get this! You may also be hearing from my brother, Wesley 🙂
Garrett I am just now seeing your message and I know you called me back around Thanksgiving. If you still have my number please call me again I would love to learn what you know about this old beauty. Sorry to not have called you back but I don’t have your number.
Thanks,
CB
