Grand daughter and I checked on the bees. The youngest really liked the honey, she is picking it off the queen excluder. We will get about 30 plus pounds our first year even with them swarming once.

Rhubarb -- can you harvest in the fall? The few plants I have grew gangbusters in the spring, struggled thru 8 weeks of dry, and now have put out new stalks. Can you harvest and eat fall rhubarb?

I harvest and eat it all summer in to the fall as long as the stalks don't get tough

We pulled the small supper off the hive and ran the extractor we got 24 pounds of honey. Unfiltered

Oregano fall collection -- one planter from greenhouse. Dry in the dehydrator for use in the kitchen and chicken feed.
The flavor and aroma are outstanding.
Spearmint, thyme, rosemary still in the queue.

First year for my Chicago hardy figs. Took 5 years and the wait was worth it. About a dozen every 3 days and boy are they good. Be careful how many you eat at once .

Good day.

Tell me about your fig trees. I am considering starting some in our pasture and not really sure about the varieties that are cold hardy. (We were thinking about brown turkey variety). What do you have and why? My assumption is if in NY likely cold hardy?

Thanks.
