There was a light frost this week but nothing that was too damaging to the crops that are still in the ground. That is great news. We did take the precaution of stripping down the outside peppers, tomatoes and eggplant just in case.
So with 5 weeks (4 after today) until the end of the CSA we are still going strong with summer favorites and will wait another week before starting to dig into the fall reserves.
Nothing too major to report right now. Willy gave several farm tours over the last week for multiple groups. I think they went pretty well. He and Laura have been busy putting in the last of the fall crops (radishes, cilantro, spinach, arugula, salad etc...) and planting or tilling cover crops. It is almost time to plant garlic so pretty soon here, we'll have that one last major planting project to tackle.
We are starting to pull in the storage onions. They are on the late side this season just like everything else.
Our daughter Ingrid turns 7 this week and we will be celebrating at the Farmers Market. Her birthday hasn't fallen onto a Thursday since she turned 2. We'll bring along some cookies and balloons.
Other than that, it is the same-ol' same-ol'.
Hope you are having a great start to the fall. The next few days should be beautiful!
