What We Did: Time has just slipped on by here. In an attempt to balance cooler space and the impending winter, we’ve been picking away at the harvest instead of going into it whole hog; now that we’re past the Ides of October, we’ll start cleaning up whole crops and packing them into the walk-in cooler.
Weather: We had a heavy frost on Thursday morning. The last two weeks have been dominated by inconvenient rains, which have frustrated our efforts to finish sowing cover crops. Days have been downright pleasant. I don’t remember a fall with more consistently enjoyable weather for doing outside work.
Comings and Goings: Our old friend Linda, currently the farm manager at Gardens of Eagan, came down for a visit on Saturday. We took a tour of the farm, talked about greenhouse building techniques and cover cropping strategies, and enjoyed munching on Beauty Heart radishes for lunch.
