Living on a homestead there are always chores to get done, each season has a different set.
I make myself a list of chores to get done, it makes life easier for me.
1 - Mow grass so the homestead looks nice and neat.
2 - Cut down any over grown bushes, if possible root for new plants.
3 - Clean the dead plants out of vegetables beds and flower beds.
4 - Trim lower limbs of trees, cut for fire wood or use wood chipper if possible.
5 - Stack and store tomato cages.
6 - Rake pine straw and bag up for later use.
7 - Start herb cuttings for winter use in kitchen windowsill.
8 - Plant new fruit and nut trees.
9 - Take houseplants inside for the winter.
10 - Wash and clean all your mowers and digging tools.
That is how I do October on the homestead, how about you? Do you have certain things that you want done?
