Isn’t this how everyone spent Christmas Eve?

The sheer amount of work needed to make holes in glacial till cannot be underestimated. Even with a tractor and a posthole digger, 89 holes and the raising of the poles proved a formidable challenge.

Game on field! Game on…
A field at dusk. There are Conifers, Maples, Poplars, and various shrubs along the horizon line. Some pipe marking flags are planted in the foreground. You can see the start of a fenced in area with t-posts and galvanized pipes sticking up from the ground.

In calculating the area of our irregular food forest, I used Heron’s equation to calculate the area of the oblique triangle. Always humbling to realize discoveries like this were invented so long ago. Heron’s was discovered circa 62 C.E.
Gridded sheet of paper depicting an irregular quadrilateral split by a diagonal, from the lower left to the upper right. All sides are known. The lower right angle is 90 degrees. The equations first calculate the hypotenuse of the right triangle, then its area. Then the equations address the second oblique triangle, they use Heron’s equation since all side lengths are known. First the semi-perimeter is calculated then the area.

Late winter harvest. Managed to get some lovely Fava beans and plenty of horseradish for sauces and preserves.
Hand holding 6 Fava bean pods, with blurred foliage in the background. Closeup of several freshly rinsed, uprooted, defoliated Horseradish plants, on a bed of grass. Cleaned horseradish root segments on a white plate, on a cutting board, lit from the left side.
