Dreary Fall Weather

What happened to bright October days and crisp fall evenings?   The forecast for the next week calls for overcast weather with off and on showers.  The good news is the low temps will be above 40, so no need to cover the few tender crops still out there.  Also, the hardier veg will keep growing.  Beets, kohlrabi, kale carrots, broccoli and sprouts are still in abundant supply.  If the tomatoes had not been blighted we would still be picking.  There are still plenty of peppers and potatos also.  The downside of such a late season is that at some point, the weather will turn quickly and I'll wake up to a 15 degree morning and most everything will give up the ghost.  Oh, did I mention there is also plenty of spinach and lettuce.
