Garden roundup for October

During October, our chickens only laid 35 eggs, of which 23 made it to the house.  It seemed like we only had two hens laying, one laying good eggs and the one laying thin shelled ones that always break.  It has been warmer this last week or so, and it does seem like they’re laying more – three eggs were laid on the 31st, two good and one thin – but we’ll definitely have to get some chicks in the spring.

I think the only things harvested this month were I picked a couple squash and we’ve dug a bunch of potatoes.  There are still more potatoes, it’s just a matter of weather, time, and if my back can take it. 

Since things have slowed down so much, I’m not planning on doing a roundup for November.  But I will have a year end roundup, where I’ll list out everything we’ve canned or frozen, as well as plans for next year.
