It's that transition time of late August- mornings are misty, nights are cool, and the crickets are chirping at top volume announcing the coming fall. We're wrapping up cucumber and zucchini harvest, putting fields to bed for the season with cover crops, and winter squash harvest begins next week. We're soaking summer in as fully as we can- relishing each morning we can step outside barefoot without extra layers and go swimming in the river after work. We savor each juicy watermelon and tomato, sweet sweet peppers, and cool cucumbers. We're doing our best to preserve the harvest, stocking our freezer and cupboards for winter. Now is the time! We have bulk tomatoes and peppers available to purchase as extras this week, great for making sauce or slicing up and freezing.
