Thanks to all the ladies who came out to the field on October 11th.
Merci à Marie, Diane, Annabelle, Melissa. It was a beautiful, sunny day and great to have you there! We harvested tobbacco seeds, ripened from the plants put in earlier in the season. There were many many, and so very tiny. We also found another walnut fruit from the small tree near Henri-Julien. Once it is open, the juice surrounding the nut is bright yellow, then it stains a dark brown on your skin! My finger nails still have colour under them, which was over 5 days ago.
