Water, water, water. I think that was the month we spent almost a 1000
dollars on water. That was also the month of the freakishly hot weather too.
Then, it started raining every week, and we haven't watered since! Those
planting dates were an experiment for us. Our market usually ends Oct. 31,
and we wanted around 6 weeks of harvesting on the cole crops. So, we did all
of them much earlier than what we would typically do. It worked, at least
this year. Our market has been extended until Nov. 14th this year, so we are
running low on broccoli at this point. We still have lots of cauliflower,
cabbage, and brussels sprouts, and would you believe I just came in from
picking zucchini? Green beans yesterday. And, the okra is blooming again.
Weird weather. I should be hauling in firewood, not picking green beans!

Perkins, OK. No sign of a frost in sight
