Frost

We had our first hard frost last night. A killing frost, to be sure, with temperatures below 24 degrees. (Our first light frost was Sept. 11.) Walking through the hoophouse is like wandering through a graveyard.

Farmer’s market continues despite the repeated frosts. We hope to have tomatoes for a couple more weeks, but by the end we expect to have greens (mesclun, arugula, spinach, kale and collards), onions, leeks and plenty of potatoes. Kendra took this great snapshot (below) of our early October market table just the other day.
