Weather in November is always a bit of an unknown, but with a significant ice storm in our forecast for Thursday, this week is definitely taking the weather ups and downs to the extreme. In advance of the storm, we’re harvesting off much of the last of our crops that are growing outside of the hoop house, including the bunching kale and collards. Living in a rural area, we are reliant on electricity not only for inside our house, but also for our water which is pumped from our well with an electric pump, so we’ve spent the day preparing for a possible power outage by making sure we will still have what we need to wash and store the produce in advance of Saturday’s market. The full week’s harvest list is below and we will keep you updated on Thursday and Friday as we keep our fingers crossed through our first storm of this winter.

November 15, 2018Seems a fitting end to this ridiculous “growing” season! Glad you were able to get things winterized
as best you can. The list is still very impressive. Stay warm when not working!
