November 27 - December 1

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! I know we enjoyed it. Plus, when we read the rain gauge Monday, it said 2inches!!!

I planted a few more new heirloom apple tree seedlings just before the holidays, which brought our total of apple trees seedlings up to 9 now, plus the two old trees of unknown variety that usually bear. Can't wait till our new trees start bearing in a few years.

Just a few items available this week.

1.50 - chinese cabbage, lettucy type; tastes like a cross between lettuce and cabbage, not too peppery, and only a little thicker than a lettuce leaf; only a couple available this week.

1.00 - corn salad; a green leaf with a little bit of a mustardy taste, good in salads;

Good morning!
There aren't any new produce updates this week, as we're headed down to my grandparent's in Georgia. We're looking foward to seeing my family and fishing on the creek!

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving week, full of joy and thanks, and absent of stress!

Sincerely,
Mollie and Anthony

Greetings from Forest Creek!

Running low on produce this week, with last weeks cold and drought. I harvested the salad mixes pretty heavily last week (there wasn't a whole lot to start with), so I'll need to let them grow out some this week. Fortunately, it's not supposed to be quite as cold this week, and I'll work on watering extra.

I expect everything to sell out quickly this week, since supplies are rather limited.
Here's what I do have:

1.00 - chives
1.00 - parsely
1.00 - baby carrots, just over half a pound
1.25 - chinese cabbage 'lettucy type,' 2 available;

November 6-10

It's a windy Tuesday morning! Been enjoying the cool weather, although we could still use some rain. I was getting used to it being dark late into the morning before the time change, which made it nice and cozy while working on planting plans for next year. I enjoy this 'job' so much that I'm sure I'm overdoing it: I'm still in the phase of wanting to buy everything in the catalog and trying to restrain myself - but, do you ever get over that? Harvested the hot peppers last week that survived the frost. I have about a half-bushel of hot peppers that are mostly green still: cayene, poblano, frying chili peppers, etc.

Greens and Herbs
1.50 - head lettuce - about 5 available
1.75 - bag of spicy salad greens (2-3 bags available)
1.00 - Red Giant mustard greens - excellent mild flavor steamed
1.00 - chives - 2-3 bunches available

Peppers
12/1.00 - green hot peppers, cayene, poblano, frying chili peppers, etc.
4/1.00 - dried red cayenne peppers
