Farm Happenings for September 17, 2021

Posted on September 14th, 2021 by Peter Seely

New plantings for October harvest:  At this time of year we plant spinach, arugula, mixed greens, & turnips, along with the salad mix that should be ready in mid to late October.  Looks almost like spring again!

 

This week's offerings: Cucumber season is just about done; today's cuke will probably be the last!  Carrots this week finally! New this week are the lunch box peppers. Mini bok choi for some of you as well!!  

Coming soon: Sweet potatoes

Farm Activities:  It is mostly just harvesting at this time of year, and for the next month or so! The planting is (except for the above crops, and for crops going into the greenhouses) done for the season, and there are much less weeds to worry about, and much less need for irrigating.  It's about time!  As crops finish up, we look to plant cover crops, which will sprout and keep our soil covered over the winter months! 

Have a great week!
