Carrots and garlic
Greetings,
New this week are carrots and garlic. We pulled some garlic fresh from the ground just before going to market today. The bulbs are looking beautiful with many being a good size. And very pungent! This is the 22nd year we’ve been growing it out from our own stock.
As it says on the site the garlic is $9/lb, but since most people only want one or two bulbs at a time we offer them for $1.50 each and then adjust the price up or down for each bulb according to weight. The actual price appears on your invoice.
Chioggia and golden beets are back. We’re in an arugula gap. We plant every week, but missed a week due to rain. Peas are over for the season. The red potatoes are as scab-free as I’ve ever seen them. Hopefully, they’ll stay that way, and the other varieties as well.
The first cucumber planting didn’t appreciate the recent rains and humidity, but should produce enough to provide for another couple of weeks. And then the second planting should begin to bear.
The bull’s horn peppers are now offered. At this point they’re just like a regular green bell pepper, only a different shape. Later they’ll start turning red and sweeter which is when they’re most popular.
A few eggplant are ready. For various reasons the plants are growing slowly.
We continue to plant and weed, plant and weed. All that begins to let up next month.
Thank you as ever for all your orders.
Enjoy,
Tim
