#farewelltosummersplendor As we edge toward fall, one by one we've been saying goodbye to those crops of high summer. This week it's the #tomatoes turn. While, in a normal year, I can usually expect to harvest them up to the end of September, the unseasonable rains, heat, and humidity of the past couple of weeks have accelerated their decline. Yesterday we made our final pass through the patch. It looked pretty rough but still yielded some real beauties, like the one I hold here in my hand. Despite adversity, the generous earth yet brings forth good things. #verygoodvegetables #blackbirdfarmscsa

A #panoply of #peppers, both sweet and hot, coming to the CSA shares this week. #somelikeithot #othersnotsomuch #verygoodvegetables #blackbirdfarmscsa

Tomato buddies. 🤪#googleyeyesfriday

"I have planted by the stars in defiance of the experts,
and tilled somewhat by incantation and by singing,
and reaped, as I knew, by luck and Heaven's favor,
in spite of the best advice."

• Wendell Berry, "The Contrariness of the Mad Farmer"
