SPINACH:  The high tunnel ground was exposed to the elements during most of the recent rains. This is a great benefit to the soil, leaching salts from the surface and soaking the ground for a short time. The spinach has benefitted greatly from this and the first leaves of the fall harvest are headed to your shares.<\/p>\n

SWEET POTATOES: Cured for over two weeks these beauties are just the thing for an autumn meal. We love them as fries (check our November 2012 blog<\/a> for a great recipe.)<\/p>\n

TOMATOES: Truly the last of the season. Make some salsa with the green tomatoes and bulb fennel for a trip back to the summer. Or try that old favorite fried green tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GREEN PEPPERS:  Brooksiders got their fair share of our final pepper harvest last Monday. The rest of you get them this week. Great in fajitas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BULB FENNEL:  With the crispness of celery and a touch of licorice, bulb fennel is a great addition to a lettuce salad. This November 2010<\/a> post give you instructions on cutting one up.<\/p>\n

GREENS CHOICE: Sprouting broccoli and Toscano kale will be the main choices on Wednesday, and later in the week chard and curly kale will also be available.<\/p>\n

LETTUCE: Only one head this week. The lettuce is in great form right now, tonight our salad was only lettuce and fennel leaves and packed a lot of flavor.<\/p>\n

HERB CHOICE: We will see how the herbs handled the cold temps when we harvest tomorrow. Sage will be the main choice, as it compliments the sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

FARM REPORT:  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The first fall freeze came this morning.  <\/span>We awoke to our fields covered in nature\u2019s icing.  <\/span>These marigolds along with the summer fruits are dead and gone.  <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
This week\u2019s share will contain the last of  <\/span>tomatoes and peppers for the year.  <\/span>Other crops like the kale and sprouting broccoli remain unscathed.  Some got a blanket of cover to help them through the night.  In the high tunnel we replaced the roof and put a cover inside.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
