Summer Days, Summer Nights

Summer crops are doing much better than I'd dreamed. The tomatoes especially are nearly out of control. The late planting I did this year has had its obvious perks. I am not fighting squash bugs and aphids, and the late summer rains have freed me from nightly watering most of the time. I will have a traditional fall harvest, especially once the fall crops are in. I have never tried planting a fall crop before, but it would be foolish not to with our long growing season. The downside is that last year I had already harvested a significant amount of squash, pumpkins, beets, and carrots. This year I have only been able to enjoy greens and some herbs so far. So my focus is now on the distant harvest moon as I dream of the bounty to come.
