The zucchini & squash have succumbed to the cold temperatures. Nothing worth harvesting from these plants anymore and I could really use that row cover to protect another row of crops that will survive a little freeze. Yes, it's that time of year. I call it "Robbing Peter to pay Paul", where I make hard decisions like taking row covers off some plants so I can double them up on others. It's been a very nice stretch of warm weather and Mother Nature appears to be making a drastic change in the coming week. I'm ready and we'll do what we always do - close everything up tight at night, turn on heaters, and get out all the row covers!
All of our potatoes are out of the ground! And, our north field is cleared and ready for the tractor to come in and till up the earth. When the tilling is done, we'll plant garlic and then that patch of the farm will be done for the winter.
We are starting a few other clean up jobs here and there as time permits. It feels strange to be pulling things up already, can we really be approaching the end of the season? Yes, it's true. My body tells me so every night when I crawl into bed. We'd love some extra help on Wednesday evenings and maybe some Saturdays. Last call to come play in the dirt with us. Soon, it will be all over.
Have a great week and ENJOY your veggies!
