End of the Season Approaches

The weather forecast looks to be bringing in frost and freezing temperatures this weekend, so it will likely be the end of our summer growing season. We will likely be out of all summer veggies by the end of next week, so better get some while you still can! Cooler crops like Swiss chard will likely continue to be available.

This cold snap will also likely cause the Soldier Fly Grubs to become dormant and unavailable. This time of year they will go in/out of dormancy and we can only pull them out for sales when they are active on warm days. Availability will be hit-or-miss in November, then they will become completely unavailable from December through most of March.

We have planted more winter crops like Brussels sprouts, onions, snap peas, spinach and other greens which will start to become available in a few weeks. Garlic is also in the ground for a late-Spring harvest. We will have the same three varieties we had this year (Blanak, Chesnok Red and Music), plus the giant Elephant Garlic. After we harvest and dry them the bulbs should be available around the end of June to early-July. We hope to be able to ship the bulbs next year so if you don't live locally you can still try some of our garlic!
