A step towards autumn

Open Field Farm September 24, 2019

We brought in the rest of the winter squash yesterday: all the butternuts, delicates, spaghetti, and golden acorn. It was a bountiful crop! Unfortunately, the kabochas and edible pumpkins suffered from disease and we lost most of them. We will offer the remaining kabochas first as they may not last as well, and to give the butternuts time to sweeten and cure.

The shrinking days and changing light are signaling that autumn is coming but the temps today and tomorrow are rather extreme! We will start harvest early this morning in hopes of beating some of the heat.
