Fall Colors near peak!

Wildflower Update:  We have a few plants still blooming.  The plants are in areas we bush-hogged late in the summer.  Most of the plants are not large but have several blooms ... wing-stem and goldenrod.  Most of our plants have seeded and turned brown.  Our woodland ferns are growing after a week of rain.

Pollinators and Wildlife:  I saw a single Monarch after I got home from school.  Not many nectar plants remain for those late migrators.  Still hoping for the best with dozens of siting some days this fall.

Work on the Farm:  We have not been able to get much work done on the farm with ten days of rainfall before last weekend.  I will be checking out honeybees this week and put them to bed by closing down their hives. Our wildlife plots are doing well ... winter oats, wheat, austrian peas, buckwheat and sunflowers.  Most of the sunflowers were eaten by deer.
