Chilly, but no frost yet.


Greetings,

You would think that a waxing moon and clear, still nights in October would mean a frost, but not so here. I’ve been covering and uncovering certain crops the past few nights, always convinced that if I don’t then there will be a frost. As a result, no frost.

All the same, the season is winding down. I’m starting to clean out the greenhouse and put away the irrigation. Yesterday I put the escape board on the beehive so the bees would move out of the supers (the boxes on the top of the hive where the bees store the honey that we steal, leaving them enough for the winter in the main hive boxes). This movement takes a few days. Both supers seem packed to the brim, the medium size one being very heavy.

Thank you for your orders and enjoy if you can this beautiful weather during these troubled times.

Tim
