Fall Winds


We had high winds on Saturday that lifted the weed barrier for the garlic and damaged the plastic covering on one hoop house. We need to use more than the few stakes to hold the fabric down, maybe pull some soil over the edge or pile rocks on the fabric.
The ripped plastic on the hoop house will leave the tomatoes exposed to the wet weather we are having. The positive side to this wet weather is that the cover crop that we planted on Sunday should thrive. We seeded austrian field peas with winter rye. Soon after sowing seed, the chickens moved into the field to help themselves.
