Flailing away


I got home and found Jed just waking up. The evening was actually cool (88 degrees) and so we went outside to be with the animals. Jed took pictures of everyone and I brought the mustard harvesting system over to the bridge to get some more. We started flailing and stomping on the mustard plastic burrito and then started sifting. This was from a batch that we had already started harvesting so we weren't expecting much... we ended with another about cup and a half of seeds.

We then moved on to the wheat to see if the flailing would help separate the berries. It worked fairly well and we were distracted by turkeys that would come over to see what they could eat. They would eat out of our hand and sometimes take pieces of plants that we held up for them. One kept jumping up on my lap while I was sifting to see if she could get into the basket for more grains... too bad they're not very friendly.
