We finished running power, irrigation water and drainage to each greenhouse!

The trenches finally drained enough for us to finish running the power, irrigation water lines and drainage pipes. That took a little longer than we expected but we are ready to fill in the trenches so perhaps we can then access our compost pile. We didn’t realize how frequently we use the compost pile and have been saving compost in bins since the trenches were dug a couple weeks ago.
Today will be our last harvest for Market of the year, except we are considering selling at a couple holiday markets, so YES we are excited about sleeping in until 6:30 AM or 7 next Saturday! We enjoy the change in seasons where we can drink an extra cup of coffee in the morning, work a leisurely pace knowing that the weeds won’t be overtaking the farm, and simply CHILL out. Both the soil and the farmer get the much needed rest during the winter season. On one hand I envy the farmers in CA because they can grow all year long generating more income from the farm, on the other hand, I feel for them because I guess they don’t have downtime like we have here in the mountains. (We don’t have downtime, just a more leisurely work schedule compared to our core season, so it feels like downtime.)
