SUMMERS END BEGINS A NEW GROWING SEASON AT PAULINE'S LUCKY MARKET GARDEN

As another hot summer simmers to an end, so comes the beginning of fall  my favorite farming time.  High temps in the low 90's are going to transition into the 80's.  Lettuce seeds will break their dormancy and germinate again.  We can begin to seed all the cool season veggies.  Yes I did say "all" .  For years we have stuck safely to our specialty greens.  We have grown a few other  veggies, green beans and cucumbers mainly, but stayed away from trying to manage a large diversity of  crops.   We have worked hard to build our expertise and a steady customer following focused on a few high demand  cash crops  with no regrets but now we are ready to offer more veggie  choices.   So we have stocked up on seeds to try....spinach, beets, radishes, carrots, broccoli, parsley, snow and English peas for this fall.   We even put in a small planting of tomatoes which are beginning to fruit!  The plan is to keep our local wholesale customers happy with the same great spring mix,
