Despite such nice daytime temperatures, the days are getting shorter and the calendar has flipped to October. Where did all those months go? Really, it doesn’t seem like October should be here already.
The gardens are still giving crops, but a few things are fading. Beans and salad tomatoes are going for the gold and producing like it’s August! Peppers are in their heyday with warm days and cool nights. It may take them all week to recover and give us another big harvest next week, but that’s ok – our freezer is filled. Is yours?
