Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving.  I am writing this from Florida.  Some of you may know that my Uncle died and I came down to help my 92 year old Aunt with things.  I have extended my stay till the 21st of December.  I have been keeping up with the happenings on the farm, while I have been here.  Leah and Frankie are putting up the winter protection for the garden beds that will grow thru the winter on Friday.  That involves putting up hoops over the beds and covering it first with the row cover material and then with plastic.  We will be able to harvest through the winter and most of the greens will survive the winter and be the first things to harvest in the spring.

They will be planting some onion sets for green onions  and transplanting some Swiss Chard and Kale into the hoophouse to grow thru the winter.  The carrots that are growing in there now are getting bigger and we hope to have some for your last winter delivery.

For those of you that have been receiving your winter shares I hope you have been enjoying them.  It looks like you have really been getting the greens.  I am glad we are able to provide them since this summer they were in such short supply.

There is a great local produce market here that has a great selection of organic vegetables.  So I am enjoying some great local veggies. Then right next door is a fish/meat market that has a great variety of fish and seafood. 

I guess that's it for now.  Take Care and Happy Holidays.

Michelle
