Veggie blanket
There is a freeze watch in effect (until Saturday October 6) and we are working to protect many of the vegetables by covering them with a strong, breathable material called “row cover”. The temperature will be 3-10 degrees warmer under the row cover which may be just enough to get the plants through a few cold nights. The cover emits 64% of sunlight, and can be left on until harvest time.

Update going monthly
Our weekly update email will now be a monthly update as we are heading into the off-season. Availability (to those whom it applies), will continue to be sent out more frequently.
