Farm Journal ~ September

The only blue out in the field now is the September sky. It is peaceful and quiet. The plants are resting a bit after months of work that started in March. But their work is not done yet. The leaves still green, continue their photosynthesis for the time being in these early fall months, absorbing nutrients from the sun and the soil. They will be setting their buds for next spring right up until all the leaves drop and they enter dormancy.

We will continue to provide them with the water they require through our irrigation system, do a little weeding, emphasis on "a little," and generally keep an eye on them, enjoying their company.
