An unseasonably-warm growing season means Reid Smith was able to sell cherry tomatoes at the last Durango Farmers Market of the season Saturday.
Smith, with Adobe House Farm in Durango, called the season “weird.”
“We had a frost hit way early in September that killed a lot of stuff,” he said. “But it has been a really warm fall, which is why we still have cherry tomatoes. It’s also been wet and dry. It would rain really hard for a while and then be dry for months at a time.”
Jordan Meyers’ farm, Summit Roots, is located in Dolores. He has been growing vegetables for about five years, and he also struggled with the frost.
“Although we had that late frost in the season, this growing season seems pretty similar to last year,” he said.
