The same leaves over and over again!
They fall from giving shade above
To make one texture of faded bown
And fit the earth like a leather glove.
Before the leaves can mount again,
To fill the trees with another shade,
They must go down past things coming up.
They must go down into the dark decayed.
They must be pierced by flowers and put
Beneath the feet of dancing flowers.
However it is in some other world,
I know that this is the way in ours.

22 degrees early Monday morning; I spent Sunday cutting, cutting, cutting and giving greens inside the hoop houses a second layer of protection. This is the last of the salad mix with microgreens!!! It will be a long winter without them...
In this week's share:
Lettuce heads including frilly endive;
Salad mix (starring Black Seeded Simpson!) with microgreens (kale, radish, beets)
Beets or turnips
Delicata squash--hope you've been enjoying these--my all time favorite squash!
Yukon gold potatoes
Apples
Next week we'll finish up the chard, kale, lettuce heads, and sorrel, and fill you up with the last of the root crops.
At the stand this week: last of the year's chickens, last of the dairy for the year!, strawberry jam, maple syrup, cabbage, some spinach, duck eggs. Stock up on Kim chee and sauerkraut before it's all gone!!!
See you tomorrow.
