December 10th
Good morning
I hope your all enjoying your Fall and Winter baskets knowing that these items you are receiving are really being harvested here, at this time of year. It's something that always seems more impressionable when everything is coated in snow...which I hear could be soon. We gathered up the rest of the outside greens this week and depending on the weather the plants may stay alive and give us some bonus greens at some point. We are still working at getting out all the carrots and leeks, there sure is a lot out there!
I am happy to say that our two men got the first layer of plastic on the new greenhouse this week! Quite a tricky job for two people but it's done and both end walls are closed up also. There is still lots to be done though...like the second layer, some more weather proofing and some fans to blow the heat down. Starting next week, all greens harvested will be coming from the greenhouse.
In your baskets this week:
Carrots
Leeks
Red Onions
Purple and Green Napa Leaves ( very mild)
Kale Hearts (from the topped outside plants)
Xtra Greens: Salad Mix and Half a Savoy Cabbage
Have a great week!

| Pink Napa like green Napa very mild and perfect anywhere you like greens. |

| Getting some house wrap on the North wall, still not sure what the finishing layer will be. |

| Lots of cleaning and weeding to be done. The fact that we built this greenhouse on an existing garden, fully planted, without wrecking anything is pretty neat. |
Have a great week!
