Abstract

Fall crops are coming up, and they’re amazing. We started digging up the potatoes today and it is so crazy to see how many potatoes can grow from planting a chunk of potato with a couple of eyes on it! Some of these plants have two pounds of potatoes growing off of them. The pumpkins are already enormous, and the butternut squash are still ripening but are really good-sized already. The melons are taking longer than expected, but look great. Our one warm-season failure seems to be the eggplant- but watch them produce like crazy now that I’ve said that. We’ll see how it goes. In any case, the greens and brassicas we planted last month are developing right on track, so there should be another round of fresh new kale, broccoli and kholrabi, as well as rutabaga (similar to kholrabi) and murdoc (a quick-growing cabbage) in September.
