Indulging my self with some new trees

Two of my favorite varieties of Quince “Vranja” and “Leskovac” really hard and do well on our zon III heavy soils.

Autumn and early winter is a great period to plant trees if you only have the time which is usually the problem.

We had a record harvest this year of quince and are now hopping that these new trees will yield a nice harvest in a few years.

That time a year

Lady is showing John how it’s done standing extra nice when he is shearing his first sheep 🐑

After all are done the vet is going to come for a health check and blood samples to make sure our sheep are absolutely healthy.

We shear our sheep two times a year and they always like it to get the old wool off. Shearing sheep is not hard but to do it fast and well takes experience and skill.

Got this beautiful Calamondino variegated a few weeks back and now it’s being prepared for winter, a new pot and proper garden soil I find is the best way to get them to thrive.

It’s going to spend the winter with our bananas and other citrus trees in the new greenhouse in greenhouse. A few fruit are already on the plant and what is extra interesting is that the green in mature fruit are stripped in shades of green

Time to look ahead for future summers, one of my favorite from this session was a new addition from @realseeds in the UK

East Friesian Palm Kale has everything you look for in a kale. It’s very vigorous and gets big despite us harvesting leafs during the summer and the flavor is the best both on the bigger and smaller leafs. It has a reputation for being really hardy and we are putting it to the test keeping them outside for the winter instead of overwintering them in the greenhouse good or bad spring will tell.

We select the 40-50 best plants when we grow seeds to insure that we have enough genetic diversity, this is really important if you grow your own seeds to maintain the good character of the variety. The work continues tomorrow with more plants being prepared for next years seed saving

Ottawa the only one left of our very first cows are leaving us today , arriving on the farm a young heifer she is now the matriarch of the heard with more descendants than you can count. But age takes its toll and after a great summer it’s now time to leave the party going down in the history of the breed as one off the great ones. Her mom was the founder cow Arups Grace named after the farm she was born on and the actor Grace Jones @gracejonesofficial Ottawa got her name from a wordplay on the ear tag number she got number 80. Besides raising her own calf’s she has also been a surrogate mom for other calf’s and being one of our best milking cows being the teacher for numerous interns learning how to milk by hand.

Always surprised how easy it is to grow your own seeds. This is a new leek Giant Bulgarian that is almost impossible to find seeds of so if you want to grow it u need to produce your own seeds. Leeks are a two year plant where we usually only grow them for one year harvesting them in the autumn and winter. If you instead leave the in the garden or like we do keep them in our greenhouse house over the winter they will start flowering next spring each plant getting one tall stem with one big or rather a ball of several small flowers.

Then it’s only too wait for seeds to mature before harvest and drying off the seeds. For diversity reason we try to grow as many plants as we have space for this is a necessity for keeping the population off leeks healthy and with a broad genetic base.
