Day 89 and the 1985 Miller is still moving. You only get pictures on Tuesdays with nice weather. I was surprised to see 43 pounds this week, with a few nice days scattered in between some cold and cloudy ones. I like this shape, and the old girl is turning green and cantaloping on the stem side facing North. Looks tough and hopefully heavy.


The cover crop of rye and hairy vetch is starting to grow in on the plot in the background. That will be the third and final cover crop of the year after 24 wheel barrel loads of aged leaf compost and 24 wheel barrows of 7 year old manure was spread and tilled in. Looking for a good year in that 1700 square feet next year.
