Autumn update

Two weeks ago, we harvested the rest of the basil. This amounted to about 9 cups of leaves and several more pints of pesto. We have been enjoying choi in stir fry and salads, making tabouli with the parsley, and continue to harvest kale from the spring planting. The second to last tomato harvest occurred yesterday... about 7 small tomatoes.

The lettuce that was planted in mid-August is now ready for selective harvesting. One more frame will be setup before the winter for a total of six frames. We will transplant more lettuce and parsley into that frame.

Temperatures are forecast to get into the low 30's for the first time. It is time to cover all of the frames with ag-cloth to encourage the last bit of growth before it gets really cold.
