Farm Fall

So our growing season is coming to an end, and in the next few days we will likely have another severe frost that will kill off the rest of our warm-season crops. We will still have a fair amount of winter greens and carrots, daikons, and other things to harvest, and lots of sweet potatoes and garlic that hasn't been delivered yet, but right now a lot of the work on the farm isn't focused on vegetables for this year. We've been protecting our trees from deer, which have been coming on our farm more now that the frost has killed a lot of their normal food. We've been planting lots of cover crop, in some cases even watering it, as it won't start growing without a little help from us. And soon, we'll be planting our garlic for next year and mulching it, along with our strawberries and other crops we want to protect over the winter.
