A little pre-special session garden update

By Lyle Hillyard
Utah State Senator: Cache Valley

It was with great satisfaction that I spent a few hours in my garden last Saturday. While it has been cold enough to turn the leaves red and yellow in Sardine Canyon, it has not frozen my garden. I dug new potatoes (planted later in the summer) and picked broccoli and corn (I plant four patches about two weeks apart. Patch #3 is now done and it looks like Patch #4 will be ready then end of this week if the frost doesn’t come). I also picked tomatoes, beans, and just under a case of the biggest and sweetest raspberries I have seen. The yellow delicious tree is also loaded and they are starting to sweeten up. It usually takes a good frost to really set the sugar.
