Season ending for warm weather vegetables

This post expired on November 04, 2008.

Our offerings are slim as we shift into the winter season. Consequently, our minimum order for delivery is $20 for this week.

We’ve pulled all the chile pepper plants in preparation for winter. We’ve also pulled all Genovese & Purple Ruffles Basil a week early as well to make room for winter greens. We do still have the blue basil.

The lack of rain in October has affected the shell beans we expected in November. There are some ready, but they are sparse and difficult to pick. Okra has slowed down considerably and is no longer available in quantity.

Direct seeded lettuce mix is growing slowly and has not progressed to the true leave stage even yet. Chard and other greens continue to grow. We hope to start having greens available by December in quantity.
