Thank you to everyone who is speaking on behalf of others, who is exercising their first amendment right to free speech, who is saying no Kings, no fascism, no dictators. We keep growing; we believe in a free future. #familyfarm #nokings

Thomas Webster (1746-1807) left his family and his farm to go fight for a country not yet formed, for ideals of liberty, representation, equality. What makes a farmer leave his family and land? My 4x great-grandparents were amazing. #nokings #familyfarm

Worried about frost? Keep an eye on the weather, know what needs to be harvested right away, and what can handle a frost. Same with your neighborhoods, watch out for icy conditions, stay safe. Thank you for supporting small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein. #farmlife #garden #familyfarm

Sometimes a little extra help is all that is needed to protect the tree so that it does well for the following season. True for people as well. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. Where you spend your money matters. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #farmlife #persimmon

If we haven’t met, I’m an ornery 70 yr old farmer who says no to authoritarianism, to fascism, and to kings. Yes to voting rights, yes to education for all children, and yes to habeas corpus and warrants. Can’t believe I have to say this. In the meantime, we keep on growing. Btw, Epstein. #farmlife

Every day we keep on planting, even as temperatures cool (zone 7, northern DE). Look for plants that thrive in cooler temps AND tolerate frost. Spinach, lettuce, kale, broccoli, etc. And remember, Epstein files. #gardening #fall #familyfarm #farmtotable

Did you know? The collective noun for frogs is an army of frogs. Thank you, Portland, for raising an army of frogs. In the meantime, we keep on harvesting summer and planting for fall and winter. Because, apparently some people want to eat next month as well. BTW, Epstein. #familyfarm #garden

Why have different kinds of crops in one area?

🌱Reduce pest pressure.
🌱Improve soil health.
🌱Harvest different crops at different times.
Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. Where you spend your money has a big impact. BTW, Epstein files. #garden #fall #familyfarm

What is the hardest part about saving seeds?

Be patient and let the plant work. It takes about 45 days post-harvest date for the plant to develop seeds. Thank you for supporting the small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein files! #garden #familyfarm

If you’re planting for the fall, consider which plants can handle frost as well as cooler temperatures; there are many! Consider the weather patterns of your particular micro climate and make them work to your advantage. BTW, Epstein files. #garden #farmlife #fall

It might be October, but it is still growing weather. A rainy Monday, so I needed some flowers to cheer us all up. Thank you for supporting the local growers and small businesses in your area. BTW, Epstein files!

ICE is just like the administration; lies and more lies. Violence in the cities? Now caused by ICE.

The hardest part of fall harvest? Planting in the summer when it is hot, humid, and you are incredibly busy with other activities. Thank you for supporting the local Growers and small businesses in your neighbourhood. Where you spend your money matters a great deal. BTW, Epstein! #gardening #farm

Protest, protest, protest, and protest with your dollars. Economic boycott makes an impression!

For growing zone 7 here in Northern Delaware, October is an exceptionally busy time for harvest. We are grateful for the abundance, and grateful for everyone who supports the small businesses in the community. BTW, Epstein files. #farmlife #pumpkin #apples #garden

Thank you for adding the encouraging messages that you are hearing from people who no longer support Trump. It is appalling that the people who support the constitution and to support democracy are now considered enemies.
