November 1, 2020 Workshifts This Week? by Farmer Derek
Swallowtail larva transitioning to its next phase. Found while harvesting fall carrots and relocated along the fence line to overwinter.
Workshift tasks are almost over. We have one more major job: plant and mulch garlic!
As of now we hope to begin planting the garlic this Friday, November 6, 10am-12pm and 1-3pm. Divots will be made on beds with a tractor implement, we'll put the garlic clove in the hole, then cover it with dirt. Afterwards we'll cover with straw mulch. If we don't finish planting and mulching on Friday we'll do so on Sunday, November 8, 10am-12pm. If we finish the garlic work we'll probably harvest some roots.
It's an enjoyable task and will be made even better with abundant sunshine and a temperature of almost 70 degrees! Please join us if you can!
