Loving the herd life
The Atkins analogy is as good one, it really is a lot harder to get fat off of protein than it is carbohydrates. The horses at my parents aren't fed, they are pastured and they are absolutely obese right now, but they got a lot of grass due to the monsoon season this year.
Speaking of the growing season, I just pulled the last of my tomatoes off a couple of days ago, but the plants were covered in blooms and 8 ft or so tall - we haven't had a frost yet and it's been in the low 80's during the day. I didn't start those tomatoes indoors even, I planted them directly in early March and kept them covered. We will get an occasional freak frost that late, but it's not very common. I just turned my A/C off last week. I might have gotten more off, but I needed to pull the plants to get the yard back to where it needs to be to move out next month. I barely got any tomatoes over the summer because of the heat, but the ones I grabbed earlier this week made 18 lbs off of 4 plants.
