We are getting ready to head up to Colorado for a week. Lots of projects have been getting done around the farm in preparation. We have built new pastures for the chickens, planted brussels sprouts, lettuce, chard and carrots in a newly built low tunnel, and made many small adjustments to the irrigation system. With a couple of good storms we got some cooler weather which made all of our work easier.

| Lettuce just after harvesting for market. This salad greens mix is growing under the pole bean/cucumber trellis. The tunnel that the vines from the bean and cucumber plants form make it easy to create a microclimate suitable for the lettuce this time of year. |
