We are currently putting the garden to bed, which means, among other things, that all produce is being pulled up, the ground tilled up and a cover crop planted. This cover crop will stand in the garden throughout the winter and provide many benefits for next year's garden. For us gardening never stops. Given the time, we will publish a post in the next few days elaborating further on "putting the garden to bed," detailing those many benefits. A good deal of work is involved in properly putting a garden away for the year properly, but the effort is paid back ten fold come next spring.
Today we will remove the last crop of 2017: we pulled out a row of sugar snap peas yesterday, and three rows of tomatoes the first part of the week, and today all of our peppers will be stripped and pulled up. So if you would like some of our "world famous" peppers, hot and sweet, this weekend will be your last opportunity.
We have had many new and past customers inquiring about apples. Much to our regret we have none. A number of "list" websites list us as having an apple orchard, which we do. They fail to inform the reader that our orchard is currently under renovation, and we are not yet producing apples for the public. Here's a little background to our orchard renovation. It will most certainly be another year or two before we have any apples to offer to the public. Stay tuned. We will let you know as soon as we resume sales.
We also still have pumpkins of all types as well as several types of winter squash, sweet potatoes, and chestnuts. Gives us a call and plan a time to come out and browse and buy.
