The first day of autumn, Sept. 22, has arrived.\u00a0 The weather has been gorgeous, unseasonably warm and dry.\u00a0 Its been dipping down into the 40’s at night and coming back up to nearly 80 in the daytime.\u00a0 We have planted several fall veggies, including broccoli raab, kohlrabi, kale, lettuce and swiss chard.\u00a0 They are all doing great so far.\u00a0 I can hardly believe how quickly the raab and chard came up to harvest size and they’ve been great.<\/p>\n
I started more seed last weekend in the greenhouse.\u00a0 Not sure if there is still time but thought I’d give it a try.<\/p>\n
I’ve been searching the internet for first frost dates.\u00a0 It would appear that we don’t need to worry too much until October.\u00a0 The likelihood of frost grows stronger as the month progresses.\u00a0 I’ve attached a link to some very interesting weather charts.\u00a0 Also, sounds like the best way to protect plants from frost is to cover them with either burlap or cotton sheets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
