Thanks to everyone who came out on the weekend to help rip up the plastic mulch and remove the pumpkin and squash vines from the field. Our field will be tilled under by the end of the week so it will be ready for the first snowfall.
Overall we had a fairly successful field season, despite our slow start to the season due to the late spring rains. We always want to here from our members about what you would like to see grown (or not grown) or any other comments you have about the field project to help us for next year. The executive is planning many exciting things for the upcoming year, including (hopefully) either a low tunnel or high tunnel system for our warm season crops next field season. Both of these systems are basically low-tech greenhouses that help to keep the plants warmer than the surrounding air.
