October 14, 2022

After several unusually early frosts, we had a hard freeze about a week ago that killed off everything remotely frost tender. For my purposes, this is not entirely unwelcome — I need to focus more on my classes soon! — but it does mean less variety on the table for the last few weeks of market. I expect I will have lots of microgreens, squash, sweet potatoes, and decorative gourds and corn through the end of October, but not too many things other than that. — Sydney
