Another last hurrah

Corn, beans, squash and peppers are loving the late season blast of warm we are getting.  Even the late plantings of lettuce that looked to be late are catching up.  We need a little moisture, and Mother Nature looks willing to oblige on Saturday.  I am trying to resist the siren call of the planter, but I'll probably make one last planting of broccoli rabe this weekend.  It is supposed to mature in 40 days, although as we approach October it will be more like 60 days.  I will also plant some spinach and other greens in the cold frames this weekend.   It should be ready for Thanksgiving here on the NCR.  After that, the next thing I plant will be the garlic in October.
