Short and Sweet this Week!

We're in the final push before the rain to get ​​​​​​​

our last winter cover crops in, and to form up the new beds for the 2025 strawberry patch. Every dry hour counts right now, so this newsletter is going to be brief! Mainly, a little coaching on two of the big, hefty orbs in your share this week: Winter kohlrabi and Sugar Pie Pumpkins.

• The winter kohlrabi are colossal, as they always are, but you can carve on it for weeks if you store it in the fridge in a plastic bag. The cut edge will discolor in storage, so just shave it off each time you go to cut off a new slab. This variety is the sweetest, crunchiest, yummiest kohlrabi of the whole year, so enjoy!
• Like I mentioned last week, the Sugar Pie Pumpkin in your share this week is multi-purpose: it has hull-less seeds that will roast up into tasty little snackable pepitas, AND it has sweet meat ideal for homemade pumpkin pie. OR, of course, you can carve it for Halloween. It is a pumpkin after all...

Be it known that this is the last of the eggplant for the year (whether you are cheering or depressed at that news, it is a fact, seeing as I flail mowed the plants down to stubs on Monday in preparation for cover crop).

Next week, get ready for those delicious purple daikons, potatoes, and the first radicchio of the season! (I know I'm excited about that, and I will do my best to help you become excited, too.)

Until next week!
