September mornings

Clear and cool after a good rain that broke the heat.  Ah, September.  After suffering through a week of hot, humid end of August weather, the 3/4 inch of rain on Sunday afternoon was welcome.  The last lettuce transplants will take off and seedings of broccoli rabe and turnips will come up with only minor (I hope) flea beetle pressure.  The fall cole crops like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and kohlrabi should jump even with the cooler weather.  Soil temps are still warm.  With the exception of a couple more plantings of spinach and turnips I'm done with seeding and transplanting.  Weeding will continue for another couple of weeks, but for the most part that pressure is lessening.  A long mild fall is what I need.  What I get is probably another story.
