It's 8:14 pm and 36 degrees at the house. In the Amaya garden snuggled under row covers are our fall carrots, lettuce, cilantro, beets, and scallions. Other veg, in the Bella garden, hoping to make it through the night, with modified covers, are habaneros, krimzon lees, and jalapenos peppers. The Yuli herb garden is scantly covered. Harvested, piled together, and double covered, from the Amaya garden, are the remainder of the butternut, honey bear acorn, sweet dumpling, galeux de eysines, and musquee de provence squash. That squash pile, is really big!!!
It is the time of year to start letting go. As dusk approached and the cold started settling in, our neighbor rolled by on the road with the biggest combine ever and turned into our tiny, three acre bean field he rents from us!! The dust from the combine rolled into the air, the lights shined through the trees, the horses started running, and you could smell fall....smell it!!! Ahh, life is good.
