Garden and veggie update

  • Two more weeks of CSA veggies after today. A few of you are having an extended season because of time out of town. We'll get together with you to figure out the specifics of that.
  • Pickles are almost done producing and certainly aren't as nice-looking any more!
  • Beans are producing lots! In fact, we have extra for canning or freezing for $2 per lb, $1.50 per lb for CSA members. They are picked young and tender.
  • Peppers are finally turning red! S l o w l y...
  • It's the last week for sweet corn and melons.
  • There are very few pumpkins.
  • Some animal went through the melon patch and pulled up most of the sunflowers! They were just about to bloom.
  • Potatoes are all ready to dig - lots of them. New kinds coming still: Russet, French Fingerling and Peruvian Purple Fingerling.
  • Winter squash looks plentiful for shares. Acorn, Butternut, Buttercup, Delicata.
  • Lettuces look good - they like the cooler nights.
  • We should have enough carrots ready for them to go out in shares 1 more time.
  • Onions should all be harvested this week. You will get more, plus scallions, plus leeks.
  • You will get celeriac and parsnips the last share days (first week in October).
