Had kind of a busy day today. We started a new batch of wine this morning. Then came home and I planted my garlic for next year. Inoculated and planted a cover crop mix of winter pea, vetch and oats in all the beds not being used for fall crops. Then I mulched the whole garden with straw. After that I turned in some compost and when I came inside I started some lactofermented red cabbage sauerkraut. It's amazing what I can get accomplished when I have two full days off on the weekend! Tomorrow probably taking the family pumpkin picking and maybe starting to build the new chicken coop.

Nice. Wine is on my list of things to learn.

nice, what kind of wine? how are you making the coop?
We're making a blend of Tuscan grapes. We've been making wine with a group of friends for about 6 years now. We do it at a place that houses all the equipment. We order the grapes and they help us with all the destemming, crushing, pressing, racking and bottling. We usually will make a summer italian and a winter chilean wine, so it's been two batches a year for 6 years now. Hopefully I've learned enough over this time to begin doing it myself at home.
I followed your lead and I'm making a pallet framed chicken coop. I have the base and the framing up. I'm going to go with exterior grade sheeting instead of shingles for mine. I'll post pics when I get a chance
