Autumn Next Monday! Ready Yourselves!
I have my pepper bed all setup and ready for covering with plastic. I'm hoping to allow these peppers to ripen for the 2nd harvest before winter sets in and kills everything off. Though, I'm considering adding a second larger tunnel over these just to see how things work out when it is really cold.

Just help keep your flock healthy via clean water access, good food, and grass pasture access. Keep wild birds away from the feed.
>>1604268I have a couple orchards with fruit and nut trees. The only ones that really need pruning are the fruit trees. The nut trees (black walnut especially) doesn't need to be pruned at all. I'd say only the hazelnut clump needs to be pruned. For fruit trees, get dwarf and semi-dwarf then you'll not need to prune except to prevent cross branches and similar problems. The nut trees don't seem to have those problems. The nut trees I grow: hazelnut, black walnut, hickory nut, buckeye, and chestnut. Pruning the fruit trees can be time consuming depending on how many you have and what species they are.
>>1604320>how well radishes over winter?Plant right now! You're nearly a week late! Large root radishes are used as a fall crop to improve the tilth of the soil as well as add nutrients to the soil. They are planted now, left to die off in winter, rot in the ground, and in spring the ground is ready for planting again. So, there's still time for one crop of radishes for eating, before freezing in most areas. Also, radishes are one of those crops that you can eat early on without a problem.
With daikon, that just means you'll have a somewhat smaller root than normal which also means you can plant more of them closer together than normal. However, if you are covering them with a tunnel then plant them normally spaced.
