September. We marvel how we are leaving Summer behind. The colors of the garden are deepening, space is opening up and we are pulling those early crops of the season. The final rotation of vegetables are going in and the Winter over crops are seeded in. Our conversations often mention plans of next year’s garden configuration, where we will be planting the garlic this Fall, putting the garden to bed and perhaps something new we may try for next year. I even heard myself speak of next season “Spring Share” and we reflect that things are wrapping up. We are excited to see the Autumn crops we cared for all summer long reach maturity. The Winter Squash crop patch is developing and harvest starts soon.

Another variety of squash in the patch.
The brussels sprouts are forming. A bit later this year but on their way…… A favorite and we plant tons!
Brussels Sprout rows.
When Scott went to pull the flattened popcorn rows from last week’s storm he noticed the roots were strong. He took the time to stand them all ALL! back up. Well, 3/4 of it is standing tall and is acting as if nothing tramatic happened. So, popcorn may really be in our future!
Popcorn standing tall!
The ever changing hoop house is all new again…..cooler crops settling in for the finish of the season. Spinach, spinach and more spinach. Red kitten is coming back! leaf lettuces, pac choi, turnips, carrots, radishes and cooler lettuces.
Hoop house transforms again.
Next week’s radish harvest in the hoop house.
The tomato plants keep chugging along. We had a nice harvest the last 2 weeks and expect to harvest for a few more weeks to come…. The crop is not as strong this year due to the cooler temperatures but we are satisfied with the yield after the near non existant harvest last season.
Lemon Drop on the vine…..
