I have a pork shoulder roast cooking Sous Vide for pulled pork. We are at about hour 29!
I'm finding a lot of the skinny pork loin roasts at the grocery store (HyVee...DesMoines based) for between 3 and 5 dollars, more than large enough for 3 people and perhaps 2 meals. I have a stack of the frozen ones in the freezer.
I planted lettuce and turnips and beets about 10 days ago. The sowbugs have eaten all the beet seedlings. The lettuce and turnips have survived. (4 season marvel is doing best. Gustavs salad and May something-or- other butterhead lettuce are still tiny. The Turnips have grown impressively. We have a chance of frost tomorrow and possiblity of freeze soon. I have wire frames set up over them to discourage birds from pecking at the young plants, but might throw a cover on them at some point. I think I will go out and water them in a bit!
One of the difficulties of fall/winter gardening is watering. You need to drain the hose and shut off the spigot below 32F so tend not to water plants at a time of reduced humidity. The plants dry up and die. (I do need to plant my garlic for next year, and the top setting onion bulbs.)
That said, winter is good in that you have a break from the garden or farm and can watch football and snow falling and see people you do not normally see!
“Did you enjoy your maple burger?”
Yes! Beau asked where the other three patties were because Chef Leroy at Bear Camp gets SEVEN burgers out of a pound of ground beef, LOL!
“...and Green Bay Game?” YES! Winner! Winner! Chicken Dinner!
“Did the chickens enjoy their pumpkin?” They did! Today they are getting two over-grown but still green Cucumbers as a treat.
I also bought a LOVELY egg rack for my kitchen counter. I am loving how it looks and how handy it is to have the eggs RIGHT THERE for Breakfast/Brunch.
