An Autumn chill is in the air after 5 inches of rain came down. Monday we hand forked the last of the orange sweet potatoes from the ground and it was HOT! We even got a bit of a sunburn on the back of our necks…we knew we had to hustle as heavy rain was predicted-digging in mud is not fun. Tuesday came the rain and we worked through it harvesting and washing and 4 complete outfit changes. At least it was still warm….and then the cold. It now finally feels like Fall has arrived.
Brussels Sprout harvest…
Harvest complete….and still smiling.
Scott is plugging along with the hoop house….and hopefully this weekend BIG! progress.
Final crops will be coming out of the ground the next few weeks. 1 more row of sweet potatoes to dig, beets, and can’t wait to peek at the ginger! Hoop house spinach looks amazing this time of year….Such a strong season for us and we love sharing the bounty from the gardens.
