Hot shoeing -Jasper is not bothered, but Carats got hot shoes for the first time (normally just cold shoes) and it was hilarious! He was just standing there half asleep while Ryan took his old shoes off and trimmed his feet, then Ryan put the hot shoe on and the smoke started to waft up and Carats kind of opened one eye and was like, sniff.
Sniff Sniff. Both eyes.
What is that? Sniff Sniff.
Do you smell that? Sniiiiiiiif.
I think something’s burning.
Wait. Is that–is that my foot??
OMG!!THAT’S MY FOOT!! <FREAK OUT>

It’s time to dig sweet potatoes and that’s what I’ll be starting on Sunday. Dug 2 crates last Sunday and they’re curing, so they’ll be ready in one more week.
When I come back to the market on September 30, I’ll have arugula, spinach, lettuce, napa cabbage, turmeric, sweet potatoes…
this is arugula (in the hoop house), 7 days after planting:
spinach seedlings, also 7 days old:
the first time I ever grew spinach, when it came up I thought it was grass and I hoed it dead.
Oh victory, the tomato hoop is done. I pushed all the vines out with the tractor and I’ll till it and put down drip next week.
I made chestnut-maple dressing for my salad with roasted chestnuts 🙂 🙂 🙂
See you tomorrow!
