Farm News from Jane
What a glorious beginning to fall we had as we broke the high temperature for the last full day of summer by two degrees; 88! Unfortunately, the cool weather crops that we are waiting on to do always fare well in this extreme heat and we lost the second planting of broccoli as it flowered no matter the size or it started to succumb to a black mold caused by the hot humid conditions. It looks as if we may have cauliflower before broccoli; how unusual. But this summer has indeed been unusual from beginning to end! The tomatoes have been slowing down and we’re moving on to the fall produce and leaving them behind… It was a fantastic run for almost two months and sweet corn for eight weeks; wow! There are lots of other veggies to concentrate on like the many varieties of winter squash that need to be harvested. And we need to finish the last few beds of carrots to be weeded. They are a breeze this season to weed. The soil and weather conditions were near perfect for quick germination. After today’s weeding we are in the home stretch for that job. Although the broccoli has not enjoyed the heat the kales on the other hand are growing like they’re in a race. Harvesting them quickly enough to maintain uniform leaf growth is the dilemma. But having great yields are a really great problem!!!
The cooler nights sure make for better sleeping weather. I do feel like we need a bit of transition time to thicken our skins before it gets colder however. It felt strange after this long hot summer to be putting on layers to start the day today. It didn’t take long before the sun was up high enough to shed those extra layers! Some of us get spoiled with the light weight wardrobe during the summer! But sweater weather is nice too; I’ve heard more than a few people say they love the fall weather and bundling up in those cozy sweaters!
The moon is waxing and will make its full appearance tomorrow. Hopefully we will have a clearer sky to enjoy its glory.
Until next week; enjoy the greens and golds, Jane
Produce: Fall salad greens Radishes Red Napa cabbage Green Kale Spaghetti squash
Garlic Yukon Gold potatoes Spanish onions Green Kohlrabi
Fruit Share: Concord grapes Gala Apples Bartlett pears
Produce tips:
– Kohlrabi is a member of the Cole crop family otherwise none as crucifers. They have the same health benefits of broccoli, Brussel sprouts, cabbages, kale and cauliflower. Peel the bulb before preparing for fresh eating or cooking. It is very versatile and is a great addition to a raw veggies plate, shredded in a salad or slaw or cooked like a potato. Check out the recipe section for more ideas.
– Radishes are the common red variety and also a watermelon variety. Try eating them raw with salt or slathered with butter then salted. What a unique veggie and of course can be roasted too! See recipes for more ideas.
– Spaghetti squash should be cut in half first to remove seeds and then baked, roasted or grilled halved, wedges or slices if you have less time.
– Red Napa cabbage is less dense and so fluffier than the green. I use it the same and enjoy the color and diversity of nutrients.
– Spaghetti squash; cut in half, remove seeds, oil cavity and then bake or grill until tender; about 45 minutes. Cool slightly before taking a fork and as you draw it through the cavity, strands of squash looking like spaghetti will easily be removed. Top with sauce or butter, cheese and any herbs you prefer. Or cut into slices or wedged for a quicker preparation.
– Yukon Gold potatoes are a drier waxier potato and were developed at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada and they are a cross between the North American white potato and a wild yellow potato from South America. As far as potatoes go, the Yukon gold is very versatile. You can boil it, fry it and even mash it. In addition, like other potatoes, it is a good source of important nutrients.
