Transitions

Posted on September 2nd, 2021 by Danielle *Allen

These cooler days and chilly nights make for perfect greens- romaine, red leaf lettuce, cabbage, and kale are the stars of the show this week! The new school year has begun, the air is palpably crisper, and the intensity of summertime energy is mellowing. As the season is shifting we're flipping our hoop house beds, retiring cherry tomato and cucumber plants to make space for hearty kale and spinach that will endure the fall and winter. The propagation greenhouse house is half filled with curing onions and half with our last seeding of winter spinach, bok choy, and scallions. We're in that sweet time in between when the tomatoes and peppers are still ripe and abundant but our winter storage spaces are filling up and we're starting to harvest the first varieties of winter squash and pumpkins. Fall is just around the corner.
