Friday sure came around quickly this week! There were so many tasks checked off the list, and more have been added. Change is the name of the game as the weather has begun to really take its toll on the gardens.
Regardless of what’s doing poorly, we do have a nice harvest for tomorrow morning with good numbers of tomatoes, but there are no longer large slicers. The cool overnight temperatures have signaled the plants to hurry up and ripen, so fruits will be smaller and priced at .50 each. However, there are LOTS of Roma tomatoes, so it’s time to get some in your freezer for winter soups, sauces, and chili! We will not have this quantity again this season. Cherry tomatoes had a good crop today, too.
No pre-orders tonight, please.
I still need to finish baking and glazing some mini spice cakes, package a ton of stuff, create a new label for the spice cakes, pick a few more items, and check for flowers and herbs. Here is the list of what will definitely be available in the morning.
