Enter the Autumn

Well, we hate to say it, but it would appear that fall is getting a foot in the door. We started bringing in winter squash this week, and the onions and potatoes are ready to harvest as well. Jeremy drove to Brooklyn this past weekend to pick up the cooler that we will install in the barn to hold all of those fine vegetables. In the next week or so that will get put together, and then the heavy harvest will begin. Also coming out soon: storage beets, carrots, and celeriac. The other fall vegetables - Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes - are also coming along nicely. Don't worry, though, we should still have several weeks of summer veggies before the frost overtakes us. In fact, we intend to have tomatoes through the end of CSA in October, if not longer.

Now that I think of it, September might be the best month - all the late-summer glory, most of the good fall foods (apples are in at the farmers' market!), and cool evenings to boot. Hopefully there will be enough warm days for a few more trips to the lake before we turn the corner, but even if there aren't, the summer's been a good one. Hope you've enjoyed it, too.
