Oct 8th: Pulling weeds & peppers. Got the big patch done but had to work all day, four of us at it. Oct 9th: Took out a $4000 mortgage on Harry Tenney's house in Roseland to run 4 years at 6½% interest. Italians got 26 more boxes peppers yesterday and we shipped 73 bskts Red Peppers and 13 crates cauliflowers to Toronto last shipment sold at peppers 60¢ and cauliflowers 8¢ 22½¢ and $1.50 a box. Wished we had lots at that. Oct 10th: Fine but light white frosts yesterday morning and today but no harm much, our dahlias not frozen yet. Oct 11th: Very warm like summer. Men drawing up dirt for hotbeds. Oct 12th: Still warm about 80 in the shade. Drew in 4 loads pumpkins and a load of vegetable marrow. Suppose I will have to go to market, and I don't like the job.
