Farmer notes:
- NOT a Flex week today
- This is box #17 of the summer share, next Thursday, October 15th is the final one
- Fall Share is every other week and begins Thursday, October 22nd
- The acorn squash and pie pumpkin have only cured for one week – they will be somewhat sweeter if they sit around for another week or two
- We have yet to receive a frost here, and none is in the 10 day forecast – unbelievable
- Next week we’ll have salad turnips, carrots, cabbage, and collard greens
- Final call for hot peppers – we have lots and they are beautiful: habanero/cayenne/ja;apeno/hot wax
- Remember to wash everything well and return our boxes and ice packs weekly
