Rain. That seems to be the theme around here the last few weeks. It is wet but all is well. We are still behind on our clean up duties and we could use some bright, warm sunshine for the final crops in the garden as they seem to be hanging out in this wet cloudy weather. But overall we’re not complaining…. it has been a wonderful gardening season. Fall crops are a favorite and the return of the cool loving leafy greens from the hoophouse are always a treat. There is much to look forward to with Fall gardening.
