Diary 10/12/11
The raspberries are laden. Probably picked over 4 gallons today with more to pick tomorrow. Warm days in the 70's will ripen a few more tomatoes and urge the new greens along. Have a white fly problem I need to spray BT for tomorrow also before it gets totally out of hand. Never had white fly until I brought home some plants from a nursery in Eugene. Did not quarantine the plants as I know better than not to do. Now, I have been fighting white flies on cole crops ever since. Have 9 bags on Friday and then only ten all next week. Ahhhh, I exhale.

Diary 9/28/11
Egads!!! The weather is predicted to make a big change next week. I narrowed down my Wed. delivery for next week and I can see I better lay a few customers off next Friday. I have a few things stored to sell, but I would like to be adding other produce from the greenhouses to the bags; something other than winter squash! There are onions that are not going to finish in time. The cool spring robbed them of two weeks. Not sure what is on the other side of this rain event, but hopefully a blue sky or cloudy day or two so that I can pick more berries! Off to pick huckleberries tomorrow. Last chance for that one maybe. A drive to a new place sounds relaxing-even if there are a million things I could be doing; raspberries in the garden and blackberries in the yard, for instance. One literally can't do it all at this point in the harvest, but that's a good thing-Martha.
