November already?

It's probably the warmest November so far that I can remember.... Holloween usually is the turning point, but this year it has been warmer than usual. I know it will be very cold soon, but at least we are enjoying the present......
The Alpacas are enjoying the nice temps. and Pronk about every evening....
We tried putting Magnum (the Black) in with China Doll this weekend with no results.... She acted like she could care less that he was in the pasture with her, So we took him back out and put Avenger back in so she would have company..... We're hoping to catch her acting interested, and then put Magnum back in with her..... Even He might still be too young though.
We know that Bruto wants to be in with her, but he is a Silver rose grey, and that could cause genetic problems with the White...... We were advised not to breed him with her, but to really try to get her and the Black together, for a chance at a nice colored Cria. Although if Avenger (the Fawn colored one) was to become amorous they could have a pretty Cria too.....
Well, the Garden is really coming along, there are all kinds of things maturing, Jeanne even pulled some Carrots that were of decent size... We are planning to build a 20' X 20' screened in structure so we can have 3 20' rows Of larger sized plantings, like squash.... The open (screened) structure would have a screened roof too, but we can put shade cloth over it in the hot months. The screen will be buried about 18" to try to keep out the burroughing critters, and the overhead screen will keep out the Birds..... I hope to have it built and the rows ready before Spring.....
We'll start the plantings in the Greenhouse early, and then transplant after the last expected frost when the ground is warmer..... We are already getting the rows started with the Lasagna method of readying the ground. By Spring I expect that all the compost and Alpaca poo will be perfect mulch for planting..... This time the cultivated rows will be at least 18" thick with Mulch for better root growth. That is what messed us up last season, the Mounds were piled upon hard ground and the roots couldn't get deep enough to stay moist during the hot days.
We live and learn...... Banana has gotten her Cast off and is bouncing about with only a bit of a limp, I expect that over time she'll get over the tenderness.... Bob
