First frost tonight! I will be out checking the remay before midnight. Next batch of meat chickens are doing well. Ducks look great and will be ready around Thanksgiving. Veggies are hanging in there but some things are just done. I tore out all the cherry tomatoes this week and am looking real hard at the eggplant and slicing tomatoes next. Seeding flats like crazy and hoping I thought about things enough last winter to get the planning right. No time to sit, just need to follow the plan and get the seeds in some soil. After tonight we have nice weather on tap for another 10 days. Really hoping for a long and warm fall. Market in Montpelier continues to do well. Really need to make myself stand out a bit more since I am in the back around the corner behind the telephone pole...just kidding, kind of. Ground cherries are doing well need to find another 300 pints by next Tuesday. Should be fine. Ditch digging continues........ugh. Nice weather tomorrow, have to get a few things done, make a delivery and buy the NY Times. Joe
