Heavy Lifting
by Farmer Derek

I'm appreciative of this gentle rainfall following a nice and dry week. Anticipating this rain event as well as the upcoming ones forecast for later this week, we wrapped up some significant tasks over the past few days.

The rest of the winter squash was retrieved and stacked in the hoop house to further cure under protection. I don't have exact harvest numbers, but it feels and looks like it's been a very good season for butternut and these should be in shares through the end of the season.

The final patch of potatoes was collected on Friday and this crop also appears to have enjoyed a good growing season. We planted a couple hundred more pounds this year so that may be why it feels like we're running out of space to store them. These should also be in shares forever.

We also transplanted the final round of outdoor crops on Thursday, marking an end to almost six months of weekly planting. With this concluding very soon we'll also be done with hoeing and cultivating. One more tunnel needs to be planted with lettuce mix, then we'll be all done planting for the year.

A fall cover crop mix of oats, annual ryegrass, and crimson clover was sown where potatoes, winter squash, and spring lettuce mix grew. Since the disk plow was hooked up to incorporate these seeds I also took the opportunity to continue preparing for the very large garlic planting that will take place at the end of October or early November. This year's garlic will be planted where strawberries grew for the past year and there's quite a lot of organic matter in there that needs to break down and mellow a bit before we're able to bed shape and plant.

Very soon we'll have to say goodbye to traditional summer crops like peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes. We'll probably go through pepps and egg one final time this week. Tomatoes should linger for a few more weeks though their weight should gradually go down. Green tomatoes will also be an option in the pick up room.

It's hard to believe it's almost October.
