Last night they got frozen, so it\u2019s really over. But yesterday we picked the last of them, and although they won\u2019t win any blind taste test awards, they still add a little juicy something to a salad. But it\u2019s amazing that in the same day, we were picking herbs in the snow! The large hoophouse that the tomatoes were in holds a lot of residual heat and kept them from freezing for a few days. We also grew the head lettuce in the large hoophouse.<\/p>\n<p>The bunkhouse renovation continues to creep along \u2013 the siding is almost all up, and now we are in the process of installing the electrical line. Today is Ken\u2019s 66<sup>th<\/sup> birthday and he\u2019s spent it on a mini back-hoe, digging the trench for the electric line. I mean, it\u2019s a toy, right?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-2813\" src=\"http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"image1\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1-668x501.jpg 668w, http:\/\/www.orchardhillfarm.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/image1.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/>Next week, Aaron and I are going with the girls to an ecological farmers conference (EFAO) in Kingston \u2013 it\u2019s the farmer\u2019s version of a vacation! But it\u2019s always fun to spend time with fellow farmers, and it really only happens in the winter, and I look forward to it. I\u2019m also looking forward to a few months of recharging and undertaking some maintenance and creative projects. And recreational exercise!
