IT'S TOMATO SEASON! Yes, they're coming hot and heavy---although the rain has wreaked some fungal havoc.
There are few things in life as wonderful as a fresh-picked tomato---a little salt, a little pepper, some mayo. piled high on your old-fashioned Wonder White bread, toasted of course....
Never got to plant any Purple Cherokee Chief Heirlooms this year but Better Boy, Early Girl and some surprise plums and cherry tomato pop-ups are outperforming the weather.

Fall chores in earnest this week-- VIA COPILOT:
As September deepens in the Hudson Valley, the weather is still warm but shifting toward cooler, drier conditions — the perfect time to prepare your garden for the coming months.
1. Plant Cool-Season Crops
This is the prime time to sow vegetables and herbs that thrive in cooler weather, such as kale, spinach, Swiss chard, lettuce, peas, radishes, carrots, beets, and onions. Planting now ensures they’ll be ready for harvest before the first hard frost.
2. Start Perennials and Spring Bulbs
If you’re planting perennials like hostas, daylilies, or coneflowers, now is the time to do so. For spring bulbs (tulips, daffodils, crocuses), plant them in late September to early October for best results.
