Sweet Potato Harvest 2009

Beauregards, White Yams, and a Maine native that really has no official name other than K-50.







For this being my first try growing sweet potatoes in Bowdoinham I feel pretty good with the harvest.

Chicken killin' & September Cows

We processed the birds we raised for ourselves on Labor day, a few pictures of the grand occasion. Pete did most of the plucking while I did all the gutting and cleaning.








The cows enjoyed their time in our north field. Quite a bit in fact.





They're calling for snow in northern Maine tomorrow afternoon. Most of the garden has been harvested. Tonight I dug the rest of my sweet potatoes and I'll post those pictures in the next day or so.

September

It finally feels like summer in Maine, with autumn right on it's heels. With weeks, yes WEEKS, of uninterrupted sunshine we were able to finish off the hay season on the 6th of September.


Pete and I baled up 500+ over the labor day weekend.


Coming this month:
Sweet Potato Harvest!



Chicken Processing!


and of course more pictures of the sheep and cows...
