Squash

Winter squash September 4. I have not picked any butternut yet but they are getting close. The color of some squash has turned but the vines are still green and strong.

Corn stubble after cultimulching on September 9. Stalks were cut and thrown to the donkeys and goats first. This will be seeded to winter wheat soon, along with a little more of the field to the east.

Planted oats peas and daikon radish August 17
Rain came the next day. Here is the view on August 23
This field had been rye vetch last year. Newly opened, most of the roots are finally gone. Hope to plant cucurbits next year.
