We have had a light frost already. The maples are starting to turn, leaves falling, bees buzzing on the last of the fall asters and golden rod. Goldfinches are working hard on seed pods of coneflower and heavy hanging sunflower heads. It’s sweater weather again and the dastardly bane of existence those loathsome ticks are making their appearance, hungry for blood before the ground freezes.

Harvesting carrots, potatoes, cabbage, beans, tomatoes, squash, etc. Saving seeds from sunflowers, soybeans, lettuce, broccoli, tomatoes, radish and perhaps some things not coming to mind. Making sauce and juice and pickling tomatoes; freezing beans and corn. Pictures are of the rich colors, note the black knight carrot. We didn’t have a great harvest of that particular carrot type, sadly. Some carrots missed from last year are going to supply us some seed this year.
