Can it be  September time ?

Yup!   I  can't  believe it.  The  past  week has  been  spectacular ,comfortable sunny  days   hinting  at  the  start  of   fall.  I'm  loving  it and loving  my new base  of  operations  at  the  Valle  Crucis  School.   The garden seems  to  be  loving  the weather  as well.  
Yesterday I spent  the    morning staking  up  the  tomatoes  and  corn  which
have  grown  a  lot  and   are  producing  fruit.  The path  of  the  sun illuminates a  smaller  and  smaller  line  in  the     secret  garden  but  it's  still   hitting    most  of      the  plants.   Would  love  to keep  things   going  for  as  long  as  possible so  I'm    working  on  a  possible  greenhouse    design  to
enclose  the  raised  beds  and  gutter  planters.   If  I  used plastic  sheeting instead  of  polycarbonate it could  be    done  on  the  cheap.   I have thirty  or  so  red  cabbage seedling potted  up  and  have  3    varieties  of  lettuce    also  germinating.   There  is  not   much  room  available  for  them now    but
hopefully   at  harvest  time   the  will  be    ready  for a   second  round  of   planting.
