Well, we did NOT start building the Piggy Pen around the hoophouse today. Reconcilable differences delayed the project. However, I think we have it sorted out now. I only hope that by the time the pigs have done their thing there will still be time to plant some winter crops. I doubt the hoophouse will be plantable before mid-September, but if we have a mild fall/winter I may get carrots, parsnips, brussels sprouts, maybe peas but that is pushing it. I will definitely get spinach and some other salad type greens to keep us going through the winter.
Let it be known that this is NOT how the hoophouse looks today. It is sadly overgrown with weeds and crabgrass. Hence the need for Pig Power.
I need to find my copy of Eliot Coleman's Four Season Harvest for more ideas of what I may be able to do over the winter period.
Gee, I thought you'd got all industrious and stuff!
