Snowy Harvest Morning
Harvesting brussel sprouts in the snow.

(Un)stuck in the mud
Peter was not feeling well, so Tamsin very kindly offered to do the CSA drop in St. J yesterday. (Thank you Tamsin!) But after she loaded the van and was ready to be off, the van got hopelessly mired in the mud. I had no idea what to do. Luckily, Peter is a come through in the clutch kind of guy.
Before and after
The old cherry (tomato) house waiting to be cleared out and cleaned up. Rotten tomatoes and flies, oh my!
One of the lower greenhouses that's been "turned" and planted to crops for fall. Turned means that we've pulled out the tomatoes, cleaned up the mess, put down compost, and replanted. It's a challenge to find the right balance between harvesting every last tomato and getting them out in time to get the fall crops growing before we completely lose the daylight the fall crops need to get growing. This is dandelion greens, and we've also planted scallions, baby bok choy, salad turnips and a lot of spinach.
Brussel sprouts
The brussel sprouts are thriving this year,
