The farm is prepped for the weather which managed to bypass us yesterday but looks to hit us in the next days. It's the yearly checklist of tasks that must get done before the snows begin to fall and this year I have much of the list doen early. Found my new Meccha, the new North 40 store has a House Of Fly fly fishing shop and they have a ton of badass tying supplies. I think I found my next rod/reel as well as I need a stiffer action for fishing bigger waters. #homesteading #flyfishing #farming #hive #peakd #dailyblog
The maples are popping right now and the farm has areas of extreme yellow where they are gathered. The tunnel has such a cool look this time of year. The garden is almost finished with jsut a little bit left to deal with. The rain moves in today so I have my work cut out for me before it hits. #homesteading #fallcolors #gardening #hive #peakd #dailyblog
LOL!
The garden is gradually getting winterized with only a few rows left to deal with. Kale and chard can handle the frosts so are still looking super strong while hte beans rows need to be pulled. The peppers came out of hte freeze dryer perfect and need to get another batch going soon. At least my workload this year is much less than prior years. #homesteading #freezedrying #hive #peakd #dailyblog
Got quite the view for all of 5 minutes yesterday morning as the sun burned the fog off. The last remnants of the vapors were dissipating and I managed to just catch it. I don't see this that often and it is most often early spring or Fall time when the sun is at the right angle. #homesteading #sunrise #hive #peakd #dailyblog
A day of pain yesterday which I spent a good portion of the morning getting the new media server setup and Ubuntu fixed... Incorect repository links are a bit of a pain to flesh out and I know there are more I need to update. Maybe there is a way to flush them all and pull correct from the main source? Any way the boys got the freeze dryer going in the eveing with a load of pepper which will take a while since the peppers are all plump and full of moisture. #homesteading #freezedrying #food #hive #peakd #dailyblog
3139 #Garlic cloves are in the ground and covered for the winter. This is 3x what I grew last year and I am up to 22 varieties. It removes about half my main garden space from regular production but the garlic is worth more than the produce I could grow in the same spot. #homesteading #farming #garlicstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog

Quite the job yesterday loading up the tree and debris but we managed to get it all on the trailer and then dumped back on the farm. More #Garlic planted and I am up to 2630 in the ground with just 6 more varieties to plant. Looks like I will have over 3100 when done! #homesteading #gardening #foodstr #hive #peakd #dailyblog
I got the tree felled for my client in the morning and dropped it exactly where I wanted it. Have to go haul it off today. Got 742 garlic planted and have 8 varieties left to go. The sunrise and sunset were quite amazing looking and we had a great time at the Monster Truck show at the Arena. #homesteading #garlic ##hive #peakd #dailyblog
