These pictures were taken August 22 at Frog Pond Farms in Afton, New York. Fall has finally arrived, even though the calendar says "summer".
Winter squash.
Early apples. In fact our major u-pick apple farm in the area started to offer u-pick today.
The garlic harvest is drying. Our area's garlic festival is next Saturday.
A fall display.
Let's wrap up with some daily bread.
Fall is the most popular season where I live in the Southern Tier of New York, but right now my heart and tastebuds still say summer.
This is a transition season, where winter squash and apples compete with sweet corn, summer squash, eggplant, tomatoes, and melons, but soon enough the summer produce will be dwindling and fall will come on full force.
Such is life in a four season climate. I will enjoy summer while I still can.
We don't get a true fall. Enjoy your cooling weather.
ReplyDelete...I will be ready for fall, but I want to enjoy every summer day that I can.
ReplyDelete"Summer" often lasts into December here in Southeast Texas. We'll be lucky to get a short fall/winter.
ReplyDeleteLovely agricultural products!
ReplyDeleteThey are most welcome regardless of season.
I'm looking forward to cooler temperatures.
ReplyDeleteWe had a few days of fall like weather earlier this week. I’m not ready for it
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coloured squash and the apples look so crisp. (Can things 'look' crisp?) Our four seasons increasingly blend into each other, but there are significant differences.
ReplyDeleteLovely. I haven't visited any of our local markets in ages. I should.
