There were warmer temperatures during the week and that helped perk-up some of the crops. Our planting of zucchini are really looking good as they were helped by the warmer temps and additional tomatoes are ripening. While there are beans in tonight’s delivery the plants are pretty much shutting down for the remainder of the season. During this time of year, mid to late September, the warm weather crops start to end producing and the cold weather crops pick up. With this warm trend we can extend some of the harvest.
For field work, we have started taking down some trellises from the tomatoes and 
cucumber rows and started preparing those areas for next season. More beds were wrapped for planting garlic and onions for next year. This will probably be done about mid-October.
The salad greens in the greenhouse are really looking good and will start appearing in the 
deliveries over the next week or two. We have a variety of Red Mustard, Tokyo Bekanna, Green Mustark, and some Red Daikon, a Minosiaese cross. The Cherry Bell Radishes were a stunning crop this year, perhaps the best we have had.
It has been a good year for apples and this week we are delivering Gala apples from a local orchard.
