Local vegetables follow t he season, wherever it may lead…
This is the time when we play Russian roulette with the first (usually light) frost of the season. There are many crops that need as much time as possible to mature and size up, but which are compromised by even a light frost. These include celery, fennel, peas, cut flowers, potatoes, and zucchini. We try corn, artichokes and winter squash every year, but loose just as often to the frost. Many vegetables thrive after the first frost, and that’s why we can plan on a growing season that extends into October. If we’re lucky and have no frost in late August, even the frost vulnerable veggies will have their hay-day in September. Thanks to all who were able to make it out for the Farm Day! It is a pleasure for us to share the farm with you! Enjoy!
