The above fence placement allows animal migration within green rewilded field borders, and across gray rural roads. In the below figure, the blue farm has (incorrectly) built fences (shown in red) at property lines and at road edges, impeding animal movement.

As mentioned above, some care needs to be taken in locating fences, so as not to impede terrestrial wild animal movement. The following image depicts fields from 3 farms (denoted by pink, blue, and yellow fields). Fences, denoted by black lines, are located at crop edges; NOT at property lines.

This is a photograph of about 18 square miles of crop land in the US Midwest grain region. I chose this location at random, and overlayed green lines to depict borders between fields and at road edges.

Several of my squash fruit harvested this winter had a roughly butternut shape. But all with different coloring. Here’s a photo of one of these. And one that was much like a green version of a yellow crook neck summer squash.

Beginnings of my squash landrace. Plan to ignore all conventional advice on when to plant; & seed year round. This week lows 3C highs 27C. Extremes are common. Plan is to plant many varieties & replant saved seeds. What survives survives. Hope to see Darwin in action. And make a lot of squash pies.

No-knead sourdough loaf. Baked in Romertopf clay pot in oven. Hard red winter wheat milled with Victorio tabletop grain mill. Also has some sprouted and parboiled wheat berries mixed into dough. Has honey aroma, though no honey is used.
