Week Nine

Basil
Eggplant
Tomatoes
Garlic
Lettuce
Carrots
Squash / Zucchini

I think the theme here is pretty obvious: Italian.  Though you will have the option to choose Asian eggplant, which is also often used with basil and go that route.

The onions look great, which I mention because we are going to start harvesting them en masse this week or next.  Probably the best and largest crop since Rachel's and I's first year, seven years ago.  Mostly due to heavy mulching.  This was the first time we have done that since we have been here: better onions and less time spent working on them too.  Yeah!

Seeded most of our Fall things this past week, which then got rained in, so knock on wood, things continue to go well, I can almost taste the spinach and arugula.  All the varied fall greens can be a relief after kale/chard/random drop-in choices.  Be on the look-out for totsoi, my favorite unknown green, seen to your right.

Bringing out the rosemary to the herb circle, so if you are out there for other things like flowers feel free to come by and snip some.
