Slowing down

We still have two weeks of markets and CSA, but it is already starting to feel like the off season. There is always an infinite amount of work we should be doing, but the super urgent has to be done immediately or we won't have food for the CSAers tasks have pretty much dropped off.

We spent some time getting started on stacking wood, which was actually pretty fun. Waverly got to ride on the tractor, and Henry got up for a bit too.

On Saturday, Peter went to market, and I stayed home with the kids. He left me not one but two notes to remind me to open the greenhouses. Who me, distractable?

It was foggy when we opened them and you could see the fog rolling into the greenhouses. I tried to capture it in this photo, but didn't, but you can see how lush and green the greenhouses still are.

Spinach coming along nicely in the greenhouse space vacated by the peppers. Something nice and tender for one of the two final CSA baskets, hopefully.

An experiments with late fall beets in the greenhouse. Beets in November? There may not be enough sunshine left in the season for these to really grow well, we'll have to see.
