I’ve had so many zoom workshops for CTNOFA this week that I was able to finish hand quilting all the pieces of this #novacoat and last night I sewed her all together. Heavily inspired by the amazing @fourbirdsnest I took a vintage quilt that was holier than baby cheeses (see last picture) and after MANY MANY hours (and 39 mends before I even started quilting) I have a #quiltcoat Imma live in until the tulips come up.

I love our portable net fencing, but this set up with temporary strand has been amazing this year. We’ve used it with three different locations each multiple times this season. This is one of our pastures that we had to take down fencing for construction projects (note the pit, new ag well, electrical pedestal etc). We would not be able to use our netting here because of tight spacing for turns around obstacles and sharp elevation changes. We tap into our regular strand fencing (second to last pic, know that we were not the ones who used the tree- please never use a tree for securing fencing!!) and push the spool handles through hard fencing (this setup is a lil wonky because there’s a board on the other side) at the end.

The first succession of sunflowers was felled to make way for a rush buckwheat cover crop before the garlic goes in. We madeSunflower teepees for the birds and bees to scavenge the final seeds and pollen.
