Almost The End

I am not believing that next week will be our last delivery week.  Say it ain't so Joe!

Our boxes are still being filled to overflowing even with a long and heavy frost.  The growing season is coming to an end and I am sad to see it end.

I am  looking forward to a big skillet of fried potatoes tonight. And sweet potato fries tomorrow night.

Happy Thanksgiving

Looks like part of Thanksgiving dinner to me!

Boxes Are Still Heavy

kale, lettuce, garlic, sweet potatoes, peppers, squash, cabbage, garlic, turnips

It is hard to believe that there are just four weeks left of the Fall Share.  We can tell because the skies are so blue and work has begun to slow down a bit.  That means that it gives us time to catch up on all the jobs that have been on the back burner for awhile.  The main concern now is protecting the remaining vegetables in case of a hard frost.

Broccoli has done very well this year.  But cauliflower is another story.  They have no idea what happened to the crop.  The heads are still very small and there is a threat of frost which would it it all for them...the baby cabages.  They are working on the problem to make sure it is fixed before next fall.  

A Note From Rue....

I talked to John this morning and when he checked the crops in the field they only had minor damage from the frost so we should have fresh green produce for at least one more week. For this week you should have sweet potatoes, kale, garlic, lettuce, cabbage and possibly broccoli,  potatoes and green peppers. 

Now That's Some Big Chinese Cabbage!

The vegetables are still filling the boxes full!  

and as long as there is no killing frost there should be plenty of fresh veggies from the field for everyone!.

I love the way the newsletter is written...'The golden days of September and October are past and the grey days of November are upon us.'

Still Lots of Vegetable To Be Had

I am amazed at how full the boxes are.  Still jammed with all kinds of green goodness!

Because of the weather and no frost the field vegetables are still growing like gangbusters.  The lettuce that is in the Hi-Tunnel is almost ready to harvest.  There are still plenty of potatoes, sweet potatoes and winter squash for another 6 weeks.

Please remember to be respectful of the drop houses...please flatten your boxes and place them neatly on the porch or driveway.
