I hope this Newsletter finds you well. The weather has remained cool, and we’ve received some rains throughout the county despite the drought conditions (https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap/StateDroughtMonitor.aspx?OH). Field activities have slowed down as we go through fall, but there is still equipment to watch out for on the roads.
I’ll be at Worch Library on November 13th at 6:00 p.m. to discuss Pasture Management. If you are interested in creating or restoring a pasture, be sure to stop in and see what you can learn. I hope to see you there!
The next Darke County Garden Roundtables will be November 20th at 12:00 p.m. and November 24th at 6:00 p.m., both at the OSU Extension Office. We’ll focus on designing your garden layout, and the plant of the month is garlic. The agenda is attached.
