Update from the Gardens

As the full moon passed on Friday, we saw a remarkable shift taking place around us.  The daylight hours are noticeably decreasing and the angle of light is changing.  All the fruits in the fields are responding by ripening at a rapid rate.  The sweet corn has tassels sending down pollen onto silks and swelling ears.  Lettuce that had been chomped by ground hogs, is slowly recovering, but it will be a couple of weeks before we have lettuce again.  We are spending most of our time each day collecting food from the various gardens.  Harvest season has begun!
