The Start of the Winter Harvest

About 5kg of Lemonades with Turnips and Daikon

Myles did his first bit of vegie gardening and planed Broccoli, Lettuce, Beetroot, and Rhubarb in the newly turned over garden beds. We both weeded a few areas, got our first harvest of Lemonades, and pulled some more of the root vegetables. I pruned the Lemonade tree right back and removed all the moss that had been allowed to grow on it - hopefully it will mean the next harvest is bigger and the tree healthier. I gave the goats the prunings off the trees - a little treat.

Last night we heard 8 gun shots at about 11pm at night. Rumour has it that there is a dog on the loose which has already killed 5 chickens next door - perhaps someone was protecting their animals. Hopefully when we have lambs the dog won't have a go at them.
