Well here are starting September. Time to get the fields finished up, replanted, etc. Deer are moving in, greenhouses are finishing up with summer crops and I need to get transplants going for the fall winter plantings in them. Spent most of today digging potatoes. Yes, by hand. No tractor so no digger. Crop looks good overall, my big russets have hollow rot. Need to research the causes of that. The Carollas look good though. Onion harvest was decent and I will be making Onion soup base out them for this winter. Other soups are in the works and planning for winter market has started. Winter squash crop is looking odd. Kind of like my corn crop. All of it is small (cute) and will be getting sold as mini, baby, or personal squash. No harvest until the first lite frost. Trying to start the rest of the ditching in the greenhouses tomorrow. This month is going to be really nuts with all the things that have to get done. October will be crazy as well but not too bad if I can push this month and get the work done. Large projects that just need to get finished. Once they are off my plate... no more large projects for a while, except maybe another greenhouse...........well off to see what the deer are into before I go to bed.
