A hard frost
Greetings,
The potatoes are now $1.60/lb. The Purple Majesty are done.
We woke up Sunday morning to find we had had a hard frost. I had seen no warning of it, but should have been vigilant what with a full moon on a clear, calm night at the end of September. It took out the field tomatoes, squash, pepper and eggplant foliage (but not the peppers or eggplant), and singed the summer crisp. At least it took out a lot of galinsoga as well, our worst weed.
And the clear, calm night and full moon that followed gave us the chance to see the beautiful and mysterious eclipse.
So we have what we still have, which is a fair amount, but the season is winding down bit by bit.
Thank you for your continuing support.
Tim
