Frost Predictions and Winter Squash
This week has felt like a race against time. Fall
just keeps encroaching on us and finally we had to face it. There were
predictions or frosts for Friday evening and we had what I would call a pretty
serious harvesting marathon. We covered things with row cover, harvested
tomatoes till dark and then harvested other things with flashlights. It did
not end up frosting and so this week we can all enjoy what may be the last of
the frost sensitive crops. This week we got all of our winter squash
harvested and it is happily curing in the greenhouse as the temperature drops
outside. In the coming weeks we will continue to bring in produce from
the fields and slowly put the farm to sleep.

Happy for you! Cable news has been reporting expected shortage of the pumpkins and squashes, due to the drought in the south-central portion of the country.
