A week of clean-up around the gardens….”wide open spaces” the theme. All tomatoes are gone and trellises coming down. Feels odd not to focus on tomatoes as it has been a constant since March. Our favorite activity this time of year is visiting the squash/pumpkin patch and we are diving in. The 1st truck load came out and Maeve drove! She drives we load…
We are thrilled with the spinach harvest starting up again and looking to pull the final carrot crop from hoop 2. The chill is in the air and somehow Autumn is here. Fun ornamental(and edible) pumpkins in our future. Pumpkin harvest is always fun. Beautiful unexpected gifts are found under those big leaves after a season of hard work. “WOW! come look at this one” we say over and over. It’s been a wonderful season.
CSA #15
Head lettuce-I love growing lettuces. The differences in flavor, texture, and colors are very interesting to me. We harvested 2 varieties this week. A green leafy summer crunch that is a huge muppet head and delicious and a dark-colored summer crisp. Green heads in snack and both in full this week.
Spinach-Our first big harvest of the fall season. Delicious and juicy and glad it is back with the cool temperatures. Triple rinsed and ready to eat.
We are experimenting this Fall. We transplanted spinach in a checkerboard pattern (as usual) and also direct seeded in the hoop house in rows. We are going to see if we notice any differences.
Carrots!-Grown in hoop 2. The variety is called Romance and a favorite.
Storage onions-A few from our curing rack in the shed. A great onion year. The variety is Dakota.
Sweet potato-Best ever harvest for us-and that is fun to say. Enjoy!
Italian Fry Peppers-Sweet and colorful.
Green Beans-This is the “Hail Mary” crop we planted. Never know if they will produce in time with weather and day length. They made it! And the longest beans we ever picked.
Garlic-We will have garlic in every other week shares until the end….
Squash!-Finally…it is here! We will have Squash out for share members to select a favorite. Snack choose 1 Full Share choose 2. Great selection including heirlooms.
Cilantro-Trays are out to cut what members wish….

Hi Jennifer, I doubt that we will make it home today, so could I get my bag tomorrow? I’m guessing around noon, but I’ll text you tomorrow to let you know for sure. I would love a little bunch of cilantro if possible. Thanks so much!

Whatever works for you works for us. IF you come tomorrow we may be gone. Grab your share from the cooler and sunflower bouquet too. I’ll tuck some cilantro in as well.
