Unofficial start of fall

 

From our CSA

The dryness has delayed a few of our late plantings as it is hard to get germination without a good rain. There is a chance next week so we will be seeding spinach, radishes, and arugula on Monday. We still have another round of lettuce transplants as well. The first round of cover crops are all in the ground waiting for a rain to get them growing. The plus side of the dryness is perfect harvest weather every day and less rot in the field. Labor day is the unofficial start of fall for us so we will start harvesting winter squash, sweet potatoes, potatoes and apples in mass for the next month before we see a frost. It's hard to believe summer is almost over.
