Bring on the Rain

It was a quiet, relaxing and perfectly lovely Saturday here on Gael Glen Farm.  We set our garlic and shallot harvest out to cure. 

We tilled the now empty garden plots and succession planted broccoli, cabbage, radishes and greens.

We did hive checks and treated for varroa to get the mite populations until control before the queens begin laying the hives’ winter bees.  We are back up to five healthy queen-right hive and everything looks great.

All this and we still had everyone tucked in safe and dry before tonight’s rain.  It is looking like we won’t have to water the gardens tomorrow!
