Week 19 Harvest Notes

Pie Pumpkin These are perfect fall decorations that are also delicious for making pie! If you do decorate with them outside, just make sure they don’t freeze and you’ll be able to bake with them after Holloween.  The seeds can be roasted and the flesh is creamy and sweet as a pie filling or soup.

Tomatoes The field tomatoes are finished for the season but we’ll still have a trickle of ripe ones coming out of our high tunnel for few weeks.

Onions These onions are incredibly flavorful and may make you sob as you chop!

Sage This strong herb pairs well with pumpkin soup or winter squash roasts. You can dry it by simply hanging it upside down in a well ventilated area for a couple of weeks.

Hakurai Salad Turnips These juicy turnips are both sharp and sweet. They are perfect raw, roasted or sautéed. The greens are fabulous raw or steamed.

Chard Colorful leaves to encourage the fall tree foliage along! Eat chard like spinach or beet greens, to whom they are related.

Garlic You can store these out of the fridge as they are fully cured.

Salad Mix Finally, our salad mix is back for the fall! This is a mix of baby mustards and baby lettuce that has been triple washed.

Radishes Try cooking these if you haven’t ever, they are delicious sautéed or roasted. This batch didn’t grow to be perfectly round but they sure are delicious! Some people cook the greens, but they are a little tough for most.

Eggplant This summer crop is still hanging in there with some fall fruits!
