Sept 4-8 produce

Greetings! Hope everyone's Labor Day went well!

Pumpkins are here!! My neighbor has some to offer also, the edible types, some that are orange and some that are white; they are really pretty! This is the same neighbor who helped us this year by tilling in our seeds for cover crops and by planting and cultivating our corn with his sweet draft horse, Mert. Mert needs new shoes!

That burst of cooler, wet weather last week let my latest plantings finally germinate! So I'm pretty sure there will be lettuce soon, and several other cooler crops are on their way.

Due to a work schedule change, I won't be able to update the produce listing on Monday mornings. Look for the new posting probably Monday evening or Tuesday mornings (I usually don't meet a Sunday afternoon deadline very well). Feel free to check back anytime, though--as always, you'll know the current week is posted by the date of the last entry.

For those of you in Hendersonville, I've now started going to the new Flat Rock Tailgate Market. This is held on Thursdays, from 4-7 in the parking lot down behind the Hand-in-Hand Gallery, Wrinkled Egg, etc. shopping area. This could be a good pick-up spot.

Hope you have a great week!
