Here is a lovely op-ed piece in the NYT sent to me by Marilyn, a long-time CSA member.

Survey Closing Tomorrow!

Thanks to everyone who filled out the 2009 Survey, it will be closing in about 24 hours. If you haven’t had a chance yet, you should have at least one reminder in your inbox.

You can still claim your prize if I see you at market too!

Freeze!

So I haven’t had much opportunity to write very much this season Sorry about that, crappy internet access and long days don’t mix very well…

We finally had a freeze though… I even heard the weatherman say that the station would no longer issue frost-freeze advisories since all the vegetation is dead!

Honeydew and Watermelon

While Paul is much better at detecting a ripe watermelon in the field, it is still something that occasionally confounds me.

CSA is almost here as well- so I’ll try to keep on top of the emails and calls, but no guarantees- the season has begun [...]

A few of our early brassicas have been in for about 2-3 weeks, along with lettuce, carrots, beets, early turnips and radishes. We’ve also planted way more potatoes than usual. And the spring peas are up nicely and will [...]
