A great harvest haul this weekend:
Raspberries
Zucchini
French breakfast radishes
Cauliflower
Lettuce
Red mustard
Arugula
Haricot verts
Fall didn’t start well on the farm. Just as the tomatoes were making their final turn toward ripeness, we got hit with two weeks of rain and the crop was mostly a failure: much of the fruit burst on the vine and the plants began to mold and blight immediately. That said, David’s eggplant and pepper crop were prodigious, and needless to say, David is thrilled with this blast of summery fall weather and has just plowed another field for planting with winter greens.
Since the pick-your-own tomato situation was a flop this year, and David would like to offer some harvest bonus, he invites you out to the farm any day except Sunday in the next two weeks to pick your own bonus portions of eggplant, peppers, arugula, kale, haricots verts, and spinach. Last year, I froze bags of lightly blanched greens and had them ready for soup all winter.
