wake up, it's not over yet!

It's September you say? The fall migration has begun, the leaves are starting to turn, and there's frost up in the North Country. Although the nights have definitely been chilly, things are still crankin' down here: tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, and tons of flowers. The dried beans got in late. (Remember the rain? May seems like ages ago!) They are close, but not ready yet. I've been keeping a wary eye on the weather. Josh and I are at the ready in case the whole thing needs to be covered. Let's just keep our fingers crossed for a late frost. Global warming has to be good for something, right? In the meantime, we are starting to put things to bed. (Oh squashey, we hardly knew ye.) We are also starting to think about next year, and putting in some fall plantings. Before we know it, we will be watching the snow fly...
