Attempt number one.

Trying to save a buck. Flowers/plants are EXPENSIVE! So I'm going it attempt to save and over winter some freebies and some I bought and paid for.

Dahlias I got for free. Begonias I bought, impatients, I also bought. I rescued my fuscia plant, but I may have left it too long. It's been move to the greenhouse.

I'll be collecting seeds soon as well, for quite a few of the flowers I grew over summer. To start them up early in the greenhouse come spring.

I still have cana and calla Lilly bulbs to dig out.

Fingers crossed this works as planned!

This year for my city friends, don't rake. Leave the leaves for the bugs! Next spring, once the temperature gets above plus 10 overnight.... Now you can rake! But most leaves will be broken down anyhow. Great nutrients for your soil as well as homes for pollinators.

It's coop cleaning day! Big clean up in preparation for the winter. I'm doing the hand clean up, while hubby does the tractor work.

I'll be getting supplies this week to get the first layer of bedding down for a nice clean coop for the birds. I'm sure they will be pleased with a nice fresh coop as we head into the cooler temperatures.

Due to changes in our life circumstances, I'll be selling off our dual purpose meat birds, and starting to downsize my birds. These are ready for butcher. Mostly females. Or are perfect to grow your own for next year as they will be at point of lay shortly, and will be laying before winter.

They are bresse x Cornish. Will lay wonderful large eggs.

Friendly, large birds. There is about 15+. Also some non meat bird extra roos can be included.

Willing to part out in groups

Currently between 12-16 weeks old. Average weight appx 4-7 lbs.

I am pooped!

Today I started the big "fall push". The weather was amazing so I took full advantage

I installed an automatic chicken coop door (this means no more goats inside the coop, much to their disappointment, they will however have unlimited access to the unheated barn). I of course did my loop pick up and rescued some plants which are now living in my greenhouse. I also cleaned my greenhouse so it's not such a disaster in there. I still have to re-attach the lighting, as I borrowed some of the lights for my indoor greenhouse, but that can wait a few days.

My entire chicken run is muddy soup, so I spent the morning emptying the smallest portion of my coop, and spreading the bedding on top of the mud soup. I got it 3/4 emptied, still more to go tomorrow. I've never seen so much mud in that run. The birds are all filthy.

I caught 5 ducks to sell, which are hopefully leaving today... Or I guess I'll be figuring how how to move them into the garage?

I'm now completly exhausted, in totally run out of steam.

Next up, drain and winterize pool, pull remaining garden plants (potatos and carrots), pick whatever is still somehow growing. But the biggest chore... Empty coop bedding, then spread compost into raspberry patch, top up garden beds, make "winter compost pile", and get the coop all ready for winter.

As we head into the "quiet" season, I'm starting to get back into creative mode. Harvest season is almost over for me, as I move plants indoors for "winter growing". I'll be saving many flowering plants rhyzomes this winter, and hoping they make it to spring.

This year I was lucky enough to be gifted 6 aerogardens, and have already begun planting them. From mini bonsai tomatos to herbs and strawberries, I'm gonna have some fresh food in the house all year round.

Beading circle has started back, Metis events have started again. I'm getting back into "craft" mode, and have some big projects planned for the winter. A new ribbon skirt, possibly a pair of moccasins for myself, a sash purse, baby booties (no there are no current grand babies in my future - however each child will be gifted these booties for their first born) and of course plenty of bead work.

Gonna be a busy season!

Starting to clear out some stock for winter.

Myscovy ducks, spring hatch. Males and females available and can be sexed.

Can be set up into trios for purchase.

Myscovy ducks are friendly ducks which lay seasonal, xlarge eggs, which are amazing for baking. With their xlg yolks they are perfect for your baked goods, or everyday eating. They are also wonderful at catching flies as well as any other bugs. They don't need a pond, a kiddy pool will keep them happy. They are more of a forest duck than a swimmy duck. But they do require water that they can dunk their heads in to clean their nostrils and feathers.

Male ducks make great meat as well, I've been told it's similar to beef, but I'm yet to try them, that is this year's plan.

Don't miss out, as I may decide to send them to auction, and they will sell at a bigger price than I'm asking now.

They will be ready to lay come spring and won't disappoint.

Pm for info.
