Carrots and a sky so cool it looks fake

The farm is full butterflies, but this one caught my attention as one I didn’t recognize. So I had to look it up. I learned that it’s called Question Mark because the caterpillar’s resting position is with its head down making a question mark look. I learned that the wing display pictured here is only on the fall flying butterflies. The lower wings on the ones that fly in summer are basically dark brown. And during the winter they are inactive and stay hidden in woodpiles and tree bark crevices.

Ben worked his tail off this weekend to prep and seed over 10 acres of our fields for their winter rest. We prehill the beds and seed winter rye. And now we enjoy the gentle rain. (He also somehow found time to cultivate and seed arugula and radishes. Hero!)

3rd shift after a 1st and 2nd shift. Hilling beds before cover crop seeding tomorrow before rain Monday.

Feeling pretty certain tomorrow will be the last market for sungolds. Also cantaloupe and cucumbers. But the first for honeynuts and spaghetti squash as the season transitions from summer to fall! #seasonaleatingfun #lastcall #growingfordayton

It’s a get-the-cover-crop-in kind of weekend
