Summer has changed to autumn and tomorrow begins my official Fall planting season.  This next weekend is the Coudersport Annual Falling Leaves Festival (http://www.PotterCountyFestivals.com/)and my last hurrah at the Farmer's Market.  It'll be run on Friday, Saturday, and maybe Sunday (if I have anything left).  Hopefully some maple sap buckets and lids will get some paint thrown on them before the festival.   
After that, I will clean out the garden, pull up the leftover weeds, till the outside garden, and plant a cover crop.  I may even experiment with a cover crop in the high tunnels... something that can be winter killed in February.  I have a lot of spotty, yucky tomatoes that will make lovely food for the pigs.  
Now I don't just have an egg problem, but I have a predator problem!  We suspect a fox it's coming into the yard and picking off my chickens.  I know their numbers are dwindling rapidly!  I have some traps that just may have to find their way outside.
