In the Field
The air is crisp and the leaves are beginning to turn, but there is still some warmth in the air and (something we have not had an abundance of this year) clear skies and sunshine. Somehow, the tomato plants survived that very cold period last week, and we will be harvesting them for a few more weeks unless the weather turns again. This weather will encourage the last fall plantings of lettuce, bok choi, and kohlrabi to size up. It also makes for great walking weather – we love to walk around the farm on evenings when we are not too busy, checking out the last of the prairie flowers (everything has gone to seed but the purple asters and goldenrod). We hope that you can join us this tonight, next Monday, or on October 18th to check out the fall farm for yourselves!
