On the board this week
Last updated Thursday, Oct 15, 8:54 AM
We've got tomatoes in: Romas, cherries, and Sungolds. Cauralina and Beefsteak are just coming in — about time! Slicing cukes are limited. Picklers are gone for the year. Yukon Golds are in, plenty still with dirt on them (that's a good thing — short-term storage, not a cellar potato). Beans look good. Peppers of every heat are loaded, plus bells and Italian fryers. Squash and melons are done for the season. Come load up before the good stuff disappears!

From the bean row
The weedy bean bed outyielded the clean one. Four to one.
Same Dulcina beans, same 75-foot row. Bare soil: three bushels, and they quit. Mowed, residue left, folded in: twelve bushels, plants still setting. Four times the food. That is the argument.

What a row taught us
The harvest board is this week's list. Notes go up when we learned something worth passing on — a practice that worked, or one that didn't.
Practice
When the tomatoes outran the twine
We were late with the weave on the first tomatoes. Nature kept her appointment. We missed ours. The bed is what that looks like.
Practice
Why we read Brix
A refractometer is not a personality. It is a way to know if a plant is making sugar — and if the dirt is getting better, or just staying busy.
Practice
The weedy bean bed outyielded the clean one
Same Dulcina, same 75 feet. Bare soil: three bushels. Residue in: twelve — four times the harvest, and the plants are still working.
Practice
The white rice on the hornworms is a wasp. Leave it.
Those grains are cocoons, not eggs. The wasp is already on payroll. Leave that one. Pick the ones without rice.
