Seasons
Summer is over
August '07
Sharon and the girl's went to North Star Orchard today on Route 233 in Kirkland, NY to pick blueberries. They were just about done producing. The end of blueberry season marks the end of summer and the season's fire energy and the quick condensing of late summer and earth energy. Here in Central New York and the local micr-climate of Clinton, NY in particulr, Strawberries make the arrival of Summer.
The days will quickly shorten not and the plants will put all their energy into fruiting. It will be all we ccan do to keep up with the harvest until the first frost kills everything off. But that's a ways off yet. Now is the time of good eating
