  • Scoop the peppers from underneath the chicken and place on top and around chicken.


This week has been quieter at the farm. There have been a few rains which was a little hard on the tomatoes. I've been setting traps, putting up row cover, and hanging metal cake pans (they were out of pie plates) to keep the critters out. Looks like we have deer in the cantaloupe and sweet corn, raccoons in the sweet corn, and birds eating the tomatoes. Not to mention the rabbits in the high tunnel! This time of year usually bring the critters around, and they have definitely come out of the woodwork this week.



I had excess banana peppers last week so I did a little canning to save some for this winter. I do freeze a lot of peppers, but I thought this would be a good way to use up quite a few. They turned out so pretty!








I stole these screenshots below of Red from my bother's Snapchat he sent me. This crazy boy somehow got himself on top of the hay bales and just decide to hang out there while Trystan was moving hay. What a weirdo!


That's all for this week. Stay tuned next week for cantaloupe and sweet corn!
