Well that’s all folks! The killing frost has come.

It has been a great season (albeit dry). On to shutting it all down and getting the dahlias into the root cellar. Already looking forward to next season. Thanks to everyone!

And just like that, the season is over. When the frost finally comes there is a sea change in activity. Here, some of the field dahlias move from the cutting garden to the root cellar in less than a week!

A little good news on the spongy moth front. The naturalized maimaiga fungus has decimated the population so far this year. While they are still around, their numbers are a fraction of what they were even three weeks ago. In the photos, a European beech that was infested is now nearly free of them. Shown are two dead caterpillars still hanging on a leaf and the damage they were causing before the population crash.

Not all areas are experiencing the same decline… and they are still present, but there is reason to be optimistic that this year will not be nearly as bad as last.

To John Andrews Farmhouse and especially the extraordinary Dan Smith:

Truly the end of an era. You have been a part of so many special moments for so many people for so many years! You have inspired so many young people to engage not only the flavor, but the meaning of food in a profound yet humble authenticity.

Without a doubt, you have become engrained in the DNA of these Berkshires.

Good luck in your endeavors moving forward. I am sure you will continue to inspire wherever you turn your attention.

Thank you!

For some reason my darling daughter wanted me to make a croquembouche for her birthday. I always make her a fancy cake, but this one was a true labor of love.
