So it's the beginning of November which means it's supposed to be consistently cold, right? Well, wrong. The past few weeks The Howdy Farm has gone through all four seasons. Last week the farm experienced nearly freezing temperatures along with rain and wind. Then at the beginning of this week the high one day was 87 degrees. It's extremely confusing and not just for humans. Plants are dependent on the weather and live day to day. So if it is freezing one day and starts warming up, the plants will think that spring is coming and start to bud.... which can be detrimental to their existence. Although the weather has been such a whirlwind, my Kohlrabi and the radishes are growing great. The weeds are also growing just as well as you can see :-)
