025: October Farm Update

It's the first Friday of October so that means it's a time for an update on what's been going on around our homestead.  In this episode, I share: * How we're processing our abundance of tomatoes and the race to get them inside as ripe as possible before the first frost * Our success with winter squash like Musque De Provence and North Georgia Candyroaster * Our hopes for a fall potato harvest * Our plans for cover crops over winter * Lessons learned from our first season of gardening on our homestead and our plans for using weed mat and drip irrigation next year * The abundance of black walnuts that we’re currently harvesting and how we’re getting them out of the husk and ready for cracking * The health of our flock of meat birds and the success of the recently built chicken tractor * The experience of processing our first chickens on the homestead * Our failed first attempt at breeding our New Zealand rabbits and how we’re trying again * The very noticeable gains of our bottle calves after the blessing of rain in August SUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/plansnprov INTRO VOICE OVER PROVIDED BY: https://www.sweetteafilms.com/
