A restful weekend -- Not on this farm!

Saturday started early back and forth to the Kendall County Brush and Mulch facility where we loaded and unloaded 7 more loads of mulch for the garden.  Temperatures are still up into the mid 90's so an early start was required. Hot, dusty work - but will be worth it when the garden delivers.

Sunday early start too:  spreading the 7 loads of mulch out.  Mostly has to be done by hand (pitchfork is my tool of choice).  Still a few bare areas; so this means another Saturday weekend hauling mulch.

We did make it to the nursery and got our fall veggies; cauliflower, broccoli, kale, red and green cabbage, bib leaf lettuce and mustard greens.  I'm sure we'll get some more in the ground later; but this is a good start.

Will keep you posted on the goodies.
