CUTTING GARDEN: Please cut large bouquets of flowers. Some herbs were bitten by frost, but many are still healthy and ready to cut, especially cilantro. The hot pepper plants were also bitten by frost, but many of the hot peppers are still great — please harvest a handful.
We did get a frost or two here over the last week; a bit earlier than we've grown accustomed to. Some things were destroyed, such as the field tomatoes, whereas other crops were just fine. We'll have a lot of great veggies for you over the coming weeks, especially greens, roots and winter squashes.
