Not much happening this time of year. The drought and the heat seriously 
reduced the bean harvest. We have barely recovered the quantities planted, 
and some varieties are a total loss. There was no corn harvest as the drying 
process was interupted by deluges and then the kernals molded on the stalks. 
The potato crop was severely affected by poor conditions and likely won't 
survive the winter in storage (tubers are just too small and are already 
shriveling away). There are no plans to do any work with the ground this fall 
and it is hoped that there will be fuel enough remaining (at reasonable 
prices) next spring to break some additional beds and expand on the current 
planting scheme.
