October O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have ripened to the fall; Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild, Should waste them all. The crows above the forest call; Tomorrow they may form and go. O hushed October morning mild, Begin the hours of this day slow. Make the day seem to us less brief. Hearts not averse to being beguiled, Beguile us in the way you know. Release one leaf at break of day; At noon release another leaf; One from our trees, one far away. Retard the sun with gentle mist; Enchant the land with amethyst. Slow, slow! For the grapes’ sake, if they were all, Whose leaves already are burnt with frost, Whose clustered fruit must else be lost— For the grapes’ sake along the wall. By Robert Frost #poetry #PNW #bellinghamwa #farmlife

We are hard at work over here with a Hatching Room makeover. I’ve been struggling with insufficient lighting, no outlets, no shelving, and a general Make Do esthetic since we started five years ago. My friend and handyman fixed the overhead light and installed outlets. Today my helper and I TSPed the walls. Spackling, sanding, painting, shelf building, and flooring ahead. #before #roommakerover

Penhill Watermelon: This juicy pink summer treat will have you drooling with anticipation, as she tends to be a late bloomer. Bloom Size: 8-10 inches; Height: 5-6 feet; Type: Informal Decorative, Dinnerplate

Did you know that the Washington State Department of Agriculture comes around once a year and checks us out? She wants to make sure we are not shipping out viruses and disease, which is a good thing! When we pass inspection, we get these little stickers to put on our parcels next spring. If you are buying tubers, you may want to add “Are you inspected?” to your list of questions you ask prospective sellers. It’s important.#dahlias

Chickies for you. Fall chicks 🐥 are spring layers. #whatcomcounty #pnw #babychicks #farmlife #whatcomfarms #bellinghamwa

Red Labyrinth: The long ruffled red petals twine and twist for a charmingly frowzy look — a red head with bed head! Each bloom will vary from its neighbors and from itself as each day passes. I’m in love with this vibrant dynamic show-stopper. Bloom Size: 8 inches; Height: 4 feet tall; Type: Informal Decorative, Dinnerplate
