We had the first substantial frost of the fall on Saturday. I rescued a peck of tomatoes and enough other veggies to fill a beer case, so that will be the end of the season.
I think I will not bother with sweet potatoes next year, they just aren't meant to be grown this far north. Out of 25 plants set out, I ended up with one decent sized sweet potato that wasn't munched on by moles or mice or whatever it was that ate the ends off of them. Even counting the munched-on ones I ended up with less than a handful. I have learned how to grow your own sweet potato sprouts, so if I do grow them again I will do it that way.
I think all of the turkeys are sold for Thanksgiving, I haven't done a very good job of keeping my paperwork on them in order this year. I will have to sit and chart out all those who ordered them. if you ordered a turkey , email me and tell me so, just in case.
Not much else going on. I have been interviewing for different jobs, since I have serious doubts about the future of the little Milwaukee brewery in the face of the Miller/ Coors merger. There are some great companies out there and I am hoping for an exciting new career.
Cheers!

He's still missing...
No, I have not gone officially missing , and I have not spent the last month looking for the missing duck. But there has been no sign of him, he must have flown south on us.
We got the pigs back from Kewaskum Foods on September 19th and quickly got them distributed to our customers. We have received rave reviews from all parties, I believe they are even tastier than last year's. I have had many home-grown BLTs already.
Speaking of BLTs , the garden is still going strong and we have lots of late-season produce that I need to do a better job of harvesting and taking care of.
It has been a lot of fun this summer as we have more and more meals that consist mostly of food that we have grown ourselves. Our grocery shopping now usually just means picking up some milk and fruit, with a few staples every now and then.
Not much else new, I'll try to do a better job of updating this month.
