The summer still has plenty for us to do. This year we had a record growth in grass (well compared to last year when we purchased the place), hence the bales of ‘hay type grass’. It is good to be able to see the sheep again, and a couple of the bales will go towards the flock’s bedding in their barn.
The flock are very ‘spoilt’ as they have their own house in which to shelter in the cold, wet or heat of the day if they choose.
Even though there is plenty of nice grass to eat, Suzie still has to try the food roll.
The end of January will see us checking the flock for fly strike and cleaning out their barn.
In the vegetable plots we have harvested the garlic, onions and continue to produce tomatoes and green peppers.
The weld plants have grown really well and are now harvested and in the drying shed. The woad plants did not do so well; they fell over before harvest so I will have to research more on that plant for next year.
