Slipping away

The planting season is rapidly drawing to a close.  I transplanted a couple of hundred lettuce, bok choy and nappa last night and watered them in as the mosquitoes descended.  This morning it was 48 degrees in the garden.   I am still seeding spinach, but the only other candidates for the process are radishes and broccoli rabe.  Most of the summer weeds have stopped sprouting, but the galinsoga seems to love this kind of weather.  It is carpeting my last plantings of lettuce and crucifers.  The summer crops of tomatoes, peppers and eggplant are stalling with the colder mornings and wet soils while the potatoes and onions are waiting patiently to be harvested.  Warmer, drier days are still ahead, I hope...
