A chilly wet week for us….slower pace, long johns and layers to stay warm and dry. The work days much shorter and it feels like Autumn. We just about have all the potatoes out of the ground and we will start hauling delicious squash from the field next week. The ornamental oddball pumpkins look amazing!!! We are thrilled and a HUGE! thanks to John Raupp (my super hero) who makes all this possible for us. Tomatoes are done and I think I picked my last zucchini this morning. Slowly garden clean up will begin when it drys up a bit out there. A sure sign of Autumn….shade clothes off the hoop houses.
And just like that it’s Autumn….
1st spinach pick will be next week…another sure sign of Autumn. Great germination of our experimental baby spinach crop.

Sweet pepper medley-A mix of ONLY sweet peppers in all the shares-lunchbox, baby bells, shishito.
Pretty sweet peppers ready to bag for shares.
Green and yellow bean mix-An end of season treat! This was our “hail mary” planting….sometimes they do not mature this late in the season due to day length and temperatures. We were lucky! Enjoy.
Making my way down the yellow bean row…and sporting my favorite Autumn headgear. Golf visor and winter cap.

The brussels sprout rows-2 varieties.

Wow, that all looks great! I agree that this has been your best season ever. The bags go through September, correct? Makes me sad to think it’s coming to an end. But perhaps you’ll have some late season spinach for us again this year! Next week looks nicer weather-wise.
