October 2 - 6

Wow, I can't believe it's already October. We spent the weekend turning under old cover crops in the east end of the garden, where we'll be growing vegetables next year, and planting new ones, to keep the weeds out over the winter. Also planted a good number of baby blueberry bushes -- we'll have about 50 planted by the end of the fall. We are looking foward to their production for the market and our own table!!!

Things are looking pretty slim for the summer crops as the nights get cooler--down to about 40F at night now. Some of the salad greens are finally starting to come along.

P.S. I won't be posting or attending the markets next week, as we'll be out of town. I'm hoping for some rain then since I won't be here to water things!
