the reluctant summer
This post expired on October 02, 2023.
Greetings,
It looks like we’re in for one last(?) glimpse of summer today. It’s as reluctant to leave as winter was reluctant to leave in April. But it is October and the harvest season is slowly winding down. Because we’ve had such a run of beautiful weather with low humidity and no serious frost, the crops that remain in the field are generally in good shape.
We still have plenty of kale, chard, spinach, bok choy, lettuce and salad mix (for this week anyway),peppers, cabbage, carrots (now sold by the pound), beets, celery root, potatoes, onions, leeks, scallions, parsley, carrots, and tomatoes.
Other veggies are available in limited amounts. The cauliflower and broccoli are almost gone by. Cherry tomatoes may be available if the flavor is still good when I harvest them tomorrow. Garlic is almost gone – it was a light crop this year. I still have about 100 pounds of nice bulbs, but I have to use those to plant for next year.
We’ll have some honey to offer soon. I’ll be taking it off the hives today and hope to extract and bottle it next week. The bees in our two hives made quite a bit this year, beyond what they need for the winter.
Thank you for your orders and enjoy the lovely fall.
Tim
