Pumpkins are looking great considering the weather, I hope the weather they are calling for actually happens this week. They are calling for 2 days of relief and the lows in the 60's on the northshore! Crazy to think that is possible but I am excited to even hear it. I did get a call from our hydro lettuce producers and they had bad news for me, it is looking like we won't be getting any lettuce for a week or two, they had deep sympathy for me as they know my members all love the hydro lettuce. We hope to be back into the lettuce game in a few weeks though.
