CSA Wk 15, Oct. 15

So we've made it 15 weeks. With the freeze at the end of last week, we were surprised to find in the gardens what we did today.  Our commitment of 16-18 looks like it will fall on the 16 side. We decided today that we just won't have enough to give you for more than that.  So next week will be the last week of pickup.  We will spend this coming weekend harvesting most everything from the gardens and dividing it up for your last pickup. 

This weeks bags have:  

Medium Shares:
Peachy colored squash which we forget the variety of :-)
Carnival Acorn Squash
Radishes
French Carrots
Tomatillos Potatoes
Peppers
Broccoli
Onions
Mixed Lettuce
Brussels Sprouts
Eggplant
Kale
Swiss Chard
Cilantro

Large Shares - same as above, add:
Red Cabbage
Cantaloupe

On the table there is an aromatic plant called sweet annie.  It is just decorative, but smells so nice.  Hang it somewhere in the house, or make a wreath with it.  If you have ever been to The Common Ground Fair, people wear wreaths of it in the hair :-)  Take what you would like.

There are also bundles of corn stalks and please take one if you can to decorate your home with.  I understand some of you may not be prepared to stash it in your cars :-)

Baked Goods Shares:
Pumpkin yeast bread  - it's ginormous! 
Pumpkin Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
Almond Joy Granola

Thanks.  Will try to be around next week for goodbyes.
