It’s been a banner fall.  I’ve never had the garden producing this late in the season.  That said, this will probably be our last week.

Even if the weather continues to cooperate, there isn’t a whole lot left out there to harvest.  I’ll let you know for sure after this week.

This week’s hours are Thursday and Friday – 10am – 6pm and Saturday 10am – 3pm.

Here’s what to expect:

Arugula

Broccolini/Raab – just a few

Bok Choy and a couple of other Asian Greens

Escarole

Kale and Collards

lettuce

Salad Mix

Scallions

Spinach – minimal amount

Turnips

Basket of lettuce

This scrumptious lettuce won’t last long with the frosty nights ahead, so buy one and get the second one at half price.

On the up side, kale loves a nice frost. It’s becomes even more delicious than it normally is.  I have both curly kale and red russian. Try the Portuguese Kale Soup in the recipe section of the web site.

Here’s what to expect this week:

Arugula

Beets – just a few

Bok Choy

Carrots- just a few

Chard-Kale-Collards

Escarole

End of season garden

More seasonal weather is finally working it’s way toward us.  The days are getting cooler and the nights are becoming downright cold.  It was bound to happen.  It’s hard to say how much longer the garden will keep producing, possibly a few more weeks, but things can change very quickly out there once the temperature dips down.  I am expecting to have a good amount of assorted salad and cooking greens this week with the possibility of a few other things too.

On Wednesday I will send out my post on what will be available this week.

It’s time to start thinking about soup.

 

This Week’s Veggies – Oct. 15th-19th

All this gorgeous weather is producing more gorgeous garden greens.  I have some beautiful lettuces this week and a fair amount of them, so I’ll be offering them as buy one, get the second at 1/2 price.  Along with the lovely bibb lettuce shown below, there are red and green leaf lettuces and some cute and tasty red and green oak leaf lettuces too.

A small planting of broccoli raab and broccolini are ready this week for an end of season treat.   Hurry in because there will only be a few bunches of each.

This Week’s Veggies – Oct. 8th-12th

As the end of the season draws near, I would like to give a big shout out to the flowers in the garden, especially the zinnias. They’ve been tirelessly producing beautiful blooms from July onward. The little darlings are growing tired now and I didn’t want them to fade away without acknowledging how their brilliant colors and delightful forms have graced our homes this season.
