With the cold and wet weather that was sure to come our way this weekend, we made a big push yesterday to get the last of the summer crops harvested.  It was a long day, what with deliveries to be made late in the afternoon, but we got quite a bit of produce out of the ground and into storage.  Well, at least short-term storage.  I still need to sort and organize it all and get it into winter storage (a.k.a. the basement).

Peppers, potatoes, squash, and lettuce loaded up in the Subaru

Last of the tomatoes, and a cooler full of beets and radishes

Short-term storage in the garage

Given the crummy weather, Tom proposed that we skip the Farmers Market today, and I was none too happy to oblige.  We plan to end the season at the last two Saturday markets with a “bang”: lots of fall spinach.  Both of our spinach plantings are looking great, so we want to highlight it.  Also still in the ground and doing nicely are Swiss Chard, radishes, and lettuce.
