Autumn has come
Greetings,
The equinox has passed and fall is here. We had a frost last Friday morning, but not too severe. That’s the earliest we’ve had in many years.
Of note this week is the lower price for Kennebec and Yellow finn potatoes. The purples are just about gone, the reds not far behind, and the fingerlings should last for another couple of weeks.
I left a small number of cukes and squash on the site, but that may be optimistic. I’ll leave a more accurate amount after we check in the morning.
Cherry tomatoes and eggplant are over. Tomatoes are soon on the way out.
Broccoli should be available again in a while.
Cauliflower is about over. Our second planting failed to germinate well in the greenhouse. You could ask for it in the comment section of your order and if we have some we’ll try to provide.
I’m sorry the beet greens, especially the reds, haven’t been very nice. This season we had an unprecedented influx of leaf miners that bore tunnels in the leaves of both beets and chard. The deer also have helped themselves to the beet greens.
Thank you for your orders.
Tim
