Farm Tasks for the Week
The fall bearded iris chop is completed (cut all fans to ~4”).
A bit late, but if you haven’t done it yet, it’s time to cut your roses by 1/3 (not including climbers) to get a second bloom in the fall.
Round 2 of indoor seeds started. Same varieties as the first round were sown as germination was lower than desired (but not lower than expected, lol).
Chickens
Chickens are doing well. No chicken tragedy this week, yay! We have eggs available this week.
