Two Feet in the Dirt

Another week, another tropical storm! Today, we’re largely inside as rains from Ida continue to drench the region. We’re lucky that the track of the storm shifted enough that, instead of the original prediction of 6+ inches of rain, it looks like we’ll be getting a slightly more reasonable amount. It looks like the storm will be shepherding in a much more pleasant spate of weather with significantly lower temperatures and humidity, something we are more than ready for. We’re heavy into fall planting at this point, with the first radishes and lettuce set to be harvestable in the coming weeks, so it’s a relief to see that the weather is becoming more in line with the coming season. 

It will be a wait-and-see game in terms of what impacts the storm has on us and which crops make it through all right for harvest at the end of the week. My best guess at this week’s harvest list is below! We’ll see you all this weekend.
