I made up for it on Sunday by:
- Doing three loads of laundry and drying them outside
- Baking 2 loaves of whole wheat bread
- Turning the compost pile
- Pulling up the Chicago garden and putting in the aforementioned compost pile
- Spreading leaves over the Chicago garden and covering with moldy hay
- Harvesting lots of mint and drying it in the food dehydrator for mint tea
- Cleaning out the garage
- (we did get the homebrew bottled on Friday night)
It was a lovely day.
We start Farm Beginnings this weekend.

Oh, mint! Why didn't I think of that!?
I feel ya with not feeling good/being tired. I did a few things on Saturday and early Sunday that I had to but then I hit a wall. I fought the urge to lay around and actually got outside and worked until dark. I felt so much better afterwards. Anyway, good work!
Question about the mouldy hay...is it safe to use in the garden? Does the mold dissapate? I was given a round bale of moulding hay from a neighbor but am afraid to put it on the garden over the winter.
Thanks!
Hi Judy,
This hay was old - it had been sitting on our patio for two years. It is spread out pretty thin and no active mold anymore. Honestly, though, I hadn't ever thought of the concerns with using moldy hay.
