Arctic Organics Week Fourteen

Frost came Monday morning…but it warmed right back up by Tuesday. It was cold enough to kill the zucchini plants. It didn’t damage any of the heartier greens and vegetables, but you might see some signs of frost on the some of the lettuces. We are in full scale “haul it in” mode now, knowing that more frequent freezing overnight temperatures are (sadly) inevitable. We’ve got loads of potatoes, beets, turnips, etc., to get into storage for the winter. Meanwhile, plan on two more deliveries of vegetables this CSA season. The last one is October 2-3. Enjoy the veggies!
