I started getting excited for warming fall dishes like squash soup, but with these warmer fall days I'm not really in the mood for soup. The good news is that the warmer temperatures mean hot crops such as tomatoes and eggplant are still happy and healthy. Even though the days are warm, they're definitely getting short. What that means for us is this is one of the last weeks we can plant fall crops and still harvest them this year.Fall also means harvest festivals. This year's member potluck is Oct 2nd and Singing Tree Gardens from 4-6pm.
