This weekend I went out to the farm and completed the rainwater harvesting system for the summer. This video outlines the water harvesting system as it ran for the summer and includes IBC Totes, First Flush Systems, and other filtering methods. I say it that way because I do have other things that need to be done on it, but they can wait until after I winterize the system in late fall.
This post is a A Budding New Food Forest Update on the food forest I put in last year. It includes various different tasks that were completed this weekend. These include rerunning the electric fence, putting small dams in, planting and labeling plants, and installing a micro climate.

Planting Onion Sets in Early Spring or Late Winter shows how I put onion sets in the ground in USDA hardiness zone 6a. The onions don't mind temperatures below freezing, but they don't like temperatures below 20. So I use a combination of timing (late winter or early spring) and insulation (straw) to help the onion sets get started early and thrive.
