Cool nights, the first leaves turning color, the sowing of the last crop of beans, beets, turnips, and carrots...we anticipate the coming seasons early at the Garden of Ideas, so that we have some ghost of a chance of keeping ever so slightly ahead of time and season. Everyday not sowing something is a lost opportunity for crops dependent on a precise number of frost-less days.
Tomatoes are turning, despite the chill night air. Not enough for the share, but I have some hybrids and heirlooms at the stand. Sungolds are in the share again this week.
1. 2 cucumbers...killer crop this year. I eat several every day, raw off the vine, in salads, in soup, on sandwiches. Here's a lovely Asian Style Cucumber Soup we had this week.
2. 1 box sungold tomatoes.
3. 1 head of lettuce
4. Scallions! (next week will be last for these...)
5. Pea Shoots! They love this weather and are as tender as they were in spring.
6. Microgreens--amazing mix of beets, kale, radish.
7. Choice of zucchini (5 different varieities!), peppers, eggplant, or Gator perpetual Spinach, a chard with the flavor of spinach, or Caraflex cabbage.
8. Garlic chives!
Woodland Farms, source of our peaches and plums, is in between varieties this week, but we have a few at the stand. Also, they have an early Mac variety that I've got a box of. Fingerlakes region Feta and Blue Cheese are back in stock. Potatoes, too.
If you remember, could you please bring along any empty containers you might have. Thanks!
