The first day of autumn, Sept. 22, has arrived.  The weather has been gorgeous, unseasonably warm and dry.  Its been dipping down into the 40’s at night and coming back up to nearly 80 in the daytime.  We have planted several fall veggies, including broccoli raab, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce and swiss chard.  They are all doing great so far.  I can hardly believe how quickly the raab and chard came up to harvest size and they’ve been great.

I started more seed last weekend in the greenhouse.  Not sure if there is still time but thought I’d give it a try.

I’ve been searching the internet for first frost dates.  It would appear that we don’t need to worry too much until October.  The likelihood of frost grows stronger as the month progresses.  I’ve attached a link to some very interesting weather charts.  Also, sounds like the best way to protect plants from frost is to cover them with either burlap or cotton sheets.
