A whirlwind of a week with not a lot of detail…..Maeve and Jennifer picked up squash and pumpkins from the patch and Scott plugged away at the hoop house every extra minute we had. Perfect weather for the duties. Frost is coming-maybe even snow on Sunday! And we scurry about to get these last duties completed.

PROGRESS!

Another load of pumpkins!
And the shade cloth finally came off the hoop house….
Hopefully next week a photo of the completed hoop house…..

Spinach-Another great (and bountiful) spinach harvest from the hoop house. Enjoy!

Scott triple rinsing the spinach.

Air drying the spinach before we weigh and package.
Leeks-The last of our leek harvest. And whenever I harvest these I think….these were started from seed in February.

Leeks cleaned in the field ready to be washed.
Potatoes-A fluffy dry variety called superior. Perfect for potato leek soup.
Beauty heart radish-not too hot and a pretty surprise when you cut into it.
Winter Squash-1 for snack, 2 for full…..members choose whatever they wish.

Winter Squash all washed and ready for CSA Members to select a beauty.
Ornamental pumpkin/squash-Maeve and Jennifer brought truckloads in from the field. Beautiful and unusual ornamentals.

Final pepper harvest of 2019
