Season Extension?

We have only two more veggie drops for our CSA members!  We want to give everyone one last batch of carrots and plenty of greens, among other things.  Our second frost last night finished off our tomatoes, but plenty of other crops are looking good as they are frost hardy.  Some are frost happy, like spinach and arugula and kale.
Although the Lincoln Square market technically ends a week from tomorrow, the alderman approved an extension into November.  We have some turnips and beets in the ground that we plan to bring for Thanksgiving customers.  We are also planning to install the plastic on our third hoophouse over a couple long beds of kale.  In the meantime, Todd and I transition into plots for winter income when the starring role is no longer the farm.  They predict a snowy year, which will help our ground water supply and help replenish the creek.
Here are some mobile uploads, an homage to the market this season:
 

Hi, Spring!

Until next week...lettuce savor the days!
