Farm Happenings for November 11, 2020

Posted on November 6th, 2020
Thanks to mild weather and fairly dry conditions we've managed to bring in one more nice harvest of cauliflower, broccoli raab, celery, and swiss chard. Some crops continue to slowly fill out, such as leeks and brussels sprouts, while others seem to struggle to just maintain themselves in fair cond1 read more »

We are basking in some lovely fall weather these past days, brisk in the morning and bright throughout the day, with accents of crimson, orange, and yellow from the many deciduous trees that edge our fields. We've started the fall cleanup work, pulling out spent rows of tomatoes and peppers, rollin1 read more »

We are relieved to report that the garden escaped the hard frost that was predicted for this weekend.  It turned cold, but not as severely so as we had feared might hit us.  So for another week, we have tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant to offer, as well as other semi tender crops such as C1 read more »

Later this week it's predicted to dip into the low 30's, so we'll be pulling out all of the row cover fabric we have available and installing it over as many sensitive crops as we can.  We'll go through the tomato, pepper, and eggplant beds and pull off everything that looks good (all have bee1 read more »

We are wondering when the first killing frost will arrive.  For many years we held October 11th as the arrival date our first killing fall frosts.  If we wanted to have peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and the like for a final harvest, we tried to pick them clean before this date.  For1 read more »

We managed to bring in about half the winter squash crop by week's end, washing and packing the squash fruit in the field, before moving them to our propagation house for curing and storage.  We sprayed the dirt off of each squash and then dipped them in sanitized water in an effort to discour1 read more »

We are sobbing a bit around here these days as the onset of Fall begins to shut down our favorite summer treats.  Basil, Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Eggplant, Zucchini, and Peppers are all in their final acts, though the end dates are a bit different for each.  We are excited, though, at the str1 read more »

The air finally cleared Friday and harvest was once again a happy if demanding time.  We hope forecasts of rain prove true, especially for those areas in the West still burning.  For now, we are grateful we can see the gentle curves of Mt. Sumas once again and pull in a deep breath withou1 read more »

Dear Farmshare members: This will be a difficult harvest this week thanks to the thick and irritating (on many levels) air.  Our crew is willing to work, but concerned for their health, which we understand and share.  Likely, we'll work reduced hours Monday at the least, and possibly Tues1 read more »
