New Field Farm – Temple, New Hampshire

frosty morning and ginger

Greetings,

We had more of a frost than I had expected – I hadn’t expected any! I won’t know until the sun hits the plants if there was much damage. The first hard frost date has definitely been pushed back over the years. We used to routinely have a killing frost by the end of September, if not sooner.

If you ordered ginger don’t forget to pick it up here or at Union Mill. If I don’t see a regular order from you to which I would add your ginger, I’ll email you a reminder Thursday night or Friday morning.

We still have a little cauliflower and a small amount of broccoli. The broccoli would consist of small side shoots that appear after the main head is cut.

The Chioggia and golden beets are almost gone, but there are still plenty of red beets.

The Ailsa Craig and Tropea onions are getting low now and the garlic is gone.

This will be the last week for lettuce, with the Boston already over.

I’ll add honey tonight if I get to extracting today. Otherwise, I’ll have it for next week. You could check and order it separately if it’s available tonight and it will automatically be added to your previous order if you have one.

I’ll have info next week about the bulk order and a possible winter ordering arrangement.

Thanks for your orders,
Tim
