It's nearing wreath-making season at Camp Joy. All year long, we cut flowers from the garden and hang them up to dry in the big house. In mid-October, we begin creating wreaths of all shapes and sizes from the dried flowers to sell at the farm's largest fundraiser of the year, the Wreath Sale. In preparation for this process, we've begun to clear out the big house living room, and lo and behold, what did we find? Two large winter squashes from last season - and much to our surprise, they both seem to have stored well! The variety: Marina di Chiogga! I have to admit that I had been scheming to add those squashes to my compost pile. I never would have guessed that they were still in good condition! It looks like we have some winter squash pies in our near future.
What's in your basket this week? onions, potatoes, apples, sweet peppers, beans, carrots, cucumbers, summer squash, garlic, grapes, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, arugula, cilantro, lettuce, kale, pears, frisee.
