We'd like to thank everyone for a job well done yesterday in addition to the great potluck fare and good company!So many hands, such varied tasks and so much good food.
It is hard to believe that our next "garden day" on October 4th will have us kicking off the next growing season with the planting of the garlic and shallots. How time flies.
A couple of items worth mentioning, it looks as if the fall broccoli and cauliflower are not doing any better than the spring planted crop. The cause is not exactly known. If the other brassicas weren't faring well we would have more of an idea. But the cabbage and related family members are all doing well so it may just not be our year for broccoli and cauliflower. Reports from around the area have also shown mixed results. If you are dead set on freezing broccoli and cauliflower, we suggest you source some from another producer.
The swine and lamb will be headed for processing in early October. If you haven't made your necessary freezer arrangements, we suggest you do so soon.
We will still have edamame soybeans this week. Please let us know if you would like more for either fresh eating and or processing. They will be done for this season by next Saturday.
You may want to check your garlic. We have noticed some soft bulbs. The wet summer may have compromised the storage quality. So processing in oil may be necessary sooner rather than later.
Periodic checking of your storage crops is an on-going task. This is the best way to stay in tune with what you need to use first, etc..
If you need any further instruction or have any questions or concerns please get in touch with us.
