Hello Everyone, We received .6 inches of rain this past weekend. Although not as much as I would have liked, it will greatly benefit the fall crops. The long term forecast looks a lot wetter during the coming weeks, so you can look forward to my complaining that it’s raining too much in the near future. We narrowly escaped frost Sunday night; going down into the mid-30’s out here on the farm. It will warm again gradually and it seems we will have another 10 days or so before the next cold blast. This means we will continue to have tomatoes, peppers and eggplant for a couple more weeks. We have Kohlrabi ready to harvest and the broccoli crop is beginning to head. For a few groups it will be the reverse. We also have summer squash and delicata squash. We have also been picking a small quantity of beans these past few weeks. Hopefully with the rain the old plantings will begin to produce a little more. We also have a late planting that is about to begin flowering. We will cover these with an Ag fabric the next time we expect frost to try to get a late season crop. (continued on page 2)
