The plastic on the hoop house blew apart weeks ago and now the heavy rains have started. It is the first of November and we still have not had a hard frost, but the tomatoes are falling prey to the wet conditions which are causing late blight and anthracnose. The sweet peppers are holding on in the other hoop house but some are starting to loose quality; turning soft or developing tough skin. The material that I am picking up will go into the compost and I will cover the bare ground with peas and rye. I am looking foward to removing all of the plastic from the landscape. I will put the hoop houses further away from the house and a bit more out of sight next spring.
