The Depot Farm

  Time for the fall update around our farm!

  Tomatoes and peppers were excellent this year. Another week or two and they will be done. Our fall kale, lettuces and spinach is coming in; along with the carrots and beets. The cool weather has kept the flavor of the greens mild, not strong or bitter. The harvest of squash continues as well as turnips, celeriac and late broccoli. Even with the weather this year being cool and rainy, the crops seem to have adapted and are producing as usual. The general cleanup (hoops, row covers, stakes, etc.) goes on whenever we have time. We still have at least four weeks for the CSA, so our weekly share harvesting takes priority over other projects. The hoops for our new cold frame (new location and double the size!) are in place, while finishing the ends and inside will have to wait until they season slows down.

All things considered, it's been a good year on the farm!
