Another fabulous week in the gardens! We worried-and worried a lot when all the rain came on Friday that it would be the turning point of just too much….2.5 inches came down hard and the good news is we are just fine. A few kohlrabi transplants failed and that’s it. Relief again and hopefully we are on the other side.
A big week of transplanting out more Fall cauliflower and getting ALL the garlic out. We were not able to use the new potato digger as planned due to the moist ground and we felt we needed to get them out quick. So, Scott hand dug them all and the crop looks wonderful. We are in the process of cleaning them up and curing them for future shares.
The gardens are thriving with all this moisture. Fall crops are sizing up and the tomato patch is starting to kick in too. The plants are loaded with beautiful fruit and the cherry tomatoes are HUGE!
ALL Brussels Sprouts! What were we thinking?!

The peach tree finally told us she was ready and we are thrilled with this 1st harvest. We planted the tree the year Maeve was born and this is the very 1st harvest and what a bounty. Peaches in every share this week.

WOW!
After the morning harvest.
We had some spare time and made a big batch of basil pesto to freeze for the winter. A fun afternoon and Maeve did all the measuring.
