Garden on Corliss Homestead Journal

Very interesting that one of your dogs figured out through trial and error that comfry helps when feeling poorly, and that it taught the other dog about it!  They are such smart creatures!  And maybe other dogs would benefit from it as well, I wonder if that is documented anywhere as being good for them, if not you've made a discovery here.

Around the time of Halloween and Thanksgiving, there are plenty of things to 'forage' around the village. Pumpkins, squashes and even bales of straw can be had for free if you know where to look! I'm quite prudish on what I will bring home and I have a wary eye for baled grasses. The fact that the bale was sprouting was a great sign and I managed to snag three of them. This is perfect to be turned into mulch or added as carbon into composting piles. I've also used bales to create windbreaks along my chicken run. I just stack them on the outside of the run and they work quite well for the winter season.

I am expecting somewhere around seven to eleven inches of snow to begin to accumulate in the morning so I am hunkering down. There will be plenty of cleanup to do in the morning so might as well be cozy for the interim.
