My husband says that a week of stacking up hay in the barn was a great workout for my arms and shoulders.

Thinning

   During the week when we were picking raspberries I found that the fruit trees high up on the ridge (unlike the ones in the valley) set way, WAY too many fruit this spring. Enough to break branches. Time to thin them out.

   This morning, after a slow and groggy start to the day, K and I put the dogs in the truck and bumped our way up the cell tower road to the small orchard my father planted there. We removed unripe, half-sized apples and peaches. Hundreds of them. The branches were bent down and I felt acute tree-guilt. I could have done this in May if I’d known they were so overburdened. Trees at lower elevations were affected by the spring cold snap, and have very little fruit this year.

   We got at least enough off them to prevent breakage. I hope. We also took a bucket of the green apples home. It’s possible to use green fruit in various recipes (especially if you are Appalachian or just trying to stretch your food budget as far as possible). Green apples can make applesauce, pie, or chutney; it just needs more sugar added than if you use ripe apples.  ( a LOT more)

   I will use the liquid I poured off the apples after they cooked to add to jelly recipes, tea or sweeter juice. Using a food mill to turn the apple chunks into applesauce results in very smooth applesauce. I prefer chunky, but this is ok. The chickens got chopped apples, and Hero and Nutmeg will get a good share as well.

guess who just wasted 2 hours drafting and deleting about a dozen text messages to their corporate boss who acted all sad and pitiable about being asked to pay them about $300 extra for two weeks worth of grueling overtime in the summer heat doing the full work of a barn manager while being paid like a teenage stable hand?

ya boy

Ouch

Holding my shoulder, hobbling slightly . .

so, apparently, there was a price to pay for wrenching that big stone out of the ground yesterday. Who knew? Who could have predicted such a thing? Not me, it seems.

At the farm, they don't tell us how many hours we will be working for during the day until we have worked to the maximum and found out ourselves. Sometimes this is understandable (heavy rain could start at 12 or 1 or 2 or 3 and you just don't know) but most of the time that is not the case.

They also said during the first day that: take breaks as you need them, don't over exhaust yourselves.

BUT they look so dissapointed and displeased when you go on your by law (paid) 12 minute coffee break and your half an hour (not paid) lunch break. If the day is 8 hours long it by law includes 2 12 minute coffee breaks, and they look so butt hurt when I take them, the other Finnish workes don't take them for that reason and even I have started to take my snacks with me to the work area so I can eat them in peace. AND I don't think the foreigners know about the coffee breaks. If I don't know how many hours we will work it is so difficult to plan the breaks and I end up not taking them even though I need them and they are by law for me to take.

I'm happy that one of the Finnish workers started to question how this place is run, cause there are so many ways for the employers to screw people over in small scale berry farms. It is a some what known problem in Finland but not addressed.

So remember to read your collective labour agreement and make sure your rights happen, if you don't act on them your boss probs won't remind you.
