Despite a few cool nights, the gardening season is still in full swing. I celebrated Labor Day by setting out lettuce and brassica transplants and fertilizing previous plantings. Despite some havoc created by the omnipresent Swede Midge, my later plantings of broccoli and cauliflower are looking good. October should be a great month for these tasty fall vegetables. The winter squash vines are starting to falter and the butternuts and delicata are maturing. Tomatoes continue to ripen and the last plantings of cilantro and basil look good. The final row of beans may or may not produce before frost, but I'm rooting for at least one picking. All in all, it was a good week in the garden.
