FIELD NOTES
It really felt like fall this past weekend and we all dressed for it! Unfortunately the first frost took most of the vulnerable crops, but we were in good position knowing ahead of time.

Friday the crew spent the day picking up winter squash and pumpkins and the last of the tomato crop is in too. Compared to last year we now have a bounty in storage and we will have all of your Thanksgiving veggies at the ready.

My father and I are hustling to finish up the greenhouse. The main frame is complete and we are beginning the end walls. It is now a race against the weather. When everything is complete we will have new growing tools for season 2020!

Only 2 weeks left (including this one) of the farm share. I know we talked about it last week, but we really can't believe it's going to be done for the season. We're really pumped about the Pumpkin Carving Contest for the last hoorah and hoping most of you can join!

See you all this week :)
