We only have about 10,000 ears of corn left in the field.
Today is the fall equinox, the beginning time of turning in and turning under. Every time it seems that the garden is all used up, some magic goes to work and puts a few new things out for us - cabbages, the last onions, lots of squash (both summer and winter), and who knows when the last potato will actually be found. At some point soon the garden will officially close, and the cover crops will be planted. It's about time to light fires in the fireplaces and start the work of planning and envisioning our next year at the farm - new crops, new people, new challenges, and more magic from the garden.
Tiny potatoes, onions, cabbage, squash and watermelon - some plants just don't know when to quit!
