4H - Learn to do by Doing

FFF Photo a Day - Day 338

Thursday nights are 4-H night on the farm when we host kids who live in a nearby town to learn about how to humanely raise animals. 

I love watching them learn and experience the realities of caring for animals in all types of weather and conditions. 

Time to dry!

As the weather continues warm up and temperatures are consistently staying at a reasonable temperature, we have taken our Kozy Koats off our tomatoes and have hung the to dry. 

Kozy Koats are a plastic covering that is filled with water that surrounds the tomatoes. This insulates the tomatoes and creates a mini greenhouse effect. We find that this method speeds growth and of course, protects the plant during frost, thus allowing you to put out the plants earlier in the year.
