Today is Tuesday, October 16,2012. I spent most of this day burning piles of brush and junk leftover from building Chicken roosts this past Spring. I have been cutting a Big Bowlful of Greens from the Fall Garden for Lunch/Supper everyday for the last 2 weeks. Lettuce, Spinach, Collards and Kale are all doing well. Swiss Chard is coming on a little more slowly than I expected. It should be coming in about the time the lettuce is done. Believe it or not I am still getting Summer veggies from the garden. I picked a half bushel basket of Peppers last week. I picked another Watermelon and gave it to the chickens and ducks for a treat for them. They devoured it in less than an hour. Basil is still blooming and looking no worse for wear. We have had our share of rain over the last 2 weeks. Seems like it rains every 2 or 3 days. No complaints except the fact that it is very muddy in the garden and hard to pull weeds. I cleared a spot behind the chicken/duck pen that I plan on planting Blueberries this Spring. I would like to have about 6 to 8 Blueberries in 3 foot raised beds. It will require cages around them to keep rabbits out until they are large enough to be out of reach.
