This time of year is so rewarding. The gardens and farmer's markets are bursting with the last of the summer produce and fruit- tomatoes, beans, even peaches and strawberries, but the fall crops are starting to come in- winter squash, apples, and pears. So much bounty to enjoy! We hope your garden plots are growing well- if you planted in August you are in a great place to take advantage of the sun and warmth of our San Francisco 'summer' season.
We've worked late at least one night a week since March 14 bringing compost to the gardens, meeting garden members, answering questions and admiring all your collective hard work! Phew!! Evening daylight is waning, and I'm going to be off traveling in Spain for October so Monday was the last 'after-work' garden session. We're also canceling plot checks for October. Anna will be following up with any plots that got a warning or had a significant issue in September. Everyone else- keep watering and we hope the meadow voles don't do too much damage!
Still ahead is our Fall Pumpkin Pizza Potluck Celebration on Saturday, October 29 from 12-3pm. Follow this link to RSVP
