Root Cellar Construction weeks 9 & 10

It has been a very productive 2 weeks for the construction project at Eden View. The root cellar is structurally complete, just 1/2 a days worth of work in building shelves and hooking up electricity and it's done! The cleaning station which is directly above the cellar is also nearing completion--the roof is on, the plumbing and electric are finished and the wash station is in place. We just have more storage and refrigeration to complete the inside and then the outside needs a coat of stain, a load of recycled crushed concrete, and the pasture needs seeding.

We have less than 2 weeks to complete this work--October is a very busy month!! Our winter cover crop gets planted early October, Sweet potato harvest starts in early October, next years garlic crop needs to be planted mid-October, and the winter storage crops start their harvest in late October.
