Farm and Garden

The CSA farm box arrived today. This week featured bok choy, collard greens, romaine lettuce, mushrooms, cucumber, onions, brussel sprouts, broccoli, tomatoes, oranges, lemons, apples, and pears.

Today was a sunny, cool day. We've had a very mild fall so far. The garden is still showing signs of life. The carrots and chives are growing. The celery is happy in the ground, and the squash vines are alive and twirling. Usually by this time, the garden is done for the season.

We're hoping to extend our growing season in Anni's green house. We have an orange tree, tomatoes, peppers, squash, herbs, brussel sprouts, flowers, lettuce, and leeks growing in there. Stay tuned to see how they do.

Dinner tonight was shepard's pie with potatoes from the farmer's market, pumpkin from the pumpkin patch, onions from our garden, and grass fed beef from the farmer's market. We served it up with steamed broccoli from the box today and cauliflower from the garden. Delish!
