\"Cabbages\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here it is late July. Summer has just roared by. I think it’s because spring was a month late and we’ve been playing catch-up ever since. The garden looks great so it’s hard to think about fall. Especially when I don’t want to! Here, winter comes real close on the heels of that beautiful season.<\/p>\n

But to get ready for fall, I just planted a couple dozen cabbage plants for storage. Our summer cabbage is starting to head well and we’ll soon be using it for slaw and cabbage salad, not to mention cabbage rolls. But our fall cabbage is great for storage as it lasts longer and is bug free; I don’t have to spray with Bt. By pulling it up by the roots, I can tie a piece of twine on the roots and hang them from the floor joists in the basement. They stay good for months that way.<\/p>\n

Will’s busy baling a small field of hay as we have a few days of rain forecast, starting this afternoon. Here’s hoping it holds off long enough to get the hay on the wagon and into the barn!<\/p>\n

We finally got all of the parts for our Oliver tractor and yesterday Will put them all back together. Now the motor is ready to lift into the tractor. David is going to bring one of Jerry’s big New Holland tractors over to lift it as our Ford 660 wouldn’t lift high enough and we had a time getting it out in the first place. A bigger tractor will make things much easier. It’s a tough enough job, lining up everything anyway. And we don’t want anyone to get mashed fingers! We’ll sure be glad to get that tractor working so we can make lots of round bales. Ah, summer! — Jackie<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
