The air conditioner in this cooler is broken so right now we are using this it to store seeds. The dehumidifier helps keep the room dry which the seeds like. On the floor are Blue Coco beans we grew for Fedco Seeds. Once the pods are dry enough we shatter them by walking on them to get the beans out. In the buckets are some of the already processed Blue Cocos and also edamame soybeans for Fruition Seeds. In the blue bins are Salmon Rose zinnia seeds for Fruition. On the left are various seeds for our own use. And drying calendula flowers.
We tilted the solar panels to their winter position this week. The steeper angle captures more sunlight because of the sun's lower position this time of year.
Our young hens (pullets) are starting to lay eggs. Unfortunately, we only have a small flock so we still only bring the eggs to the Corning Farmers' Market.
