Temperatures were forecast to fall near 30 or below Sunday night, so I frantically covered some crops, picked any ripening tomatoes, and harvested all the lettuce. All of it! Which means you get 2 bags (4 heads) this week! Next week will be the last of the salad mix, and then you'll have to wait until April, 2015 for real lettuce!
We did have a hard frost Sunday night--tomatoes gone, beans gone, my nearly ripening ground cherries gone, basil gone, etc. Still plenty of hardy greens and root crops left.
In this week's share:
2 bags of lettuce
arugula
cilantro
turnips (big ones!) Big turnips make a great soup!
last of the peppers
delicata squash
tomatoes
apples
At the stand: some more of the pork shoulder (sold out fast last week!), last order of butter for the year, cider, juice, sweet potatoes(don't grow much of this because it needs such a long, long season, but what I have is very nice), and organic ginger from the Fingerlakes. Eggs are back in stock--mine have slowed way down, and the other flocks I rely on are in the middle of molting, so they hardly lay.
Eat well!
