Farm Happenings for September 30, 2019
Fall greens are starting to come to fruition despite the 93 degree heat. Maybe it'll feel like fall in 2 weeks? I don't understand how they are doing so well in the heat. The irrigation helps and I guess the shorter days and lower angle of the sun helps reduce the intensity enough1 read more »

I hope we have seen the last of the upper 90s and triple digits for the year. We have some broccoli plants aching to get in the field and they do not like that kind of heat!
This week will probably be the last week of the summer field tomatoes. We do have a beautiful late crop in1 read more »
