Cauliflower and Mums
Here is an updated “available now” list from Martins Farm stand. Today we have some really good late sweet corn, lots of eggplant, green and yellow beans, and cauliflower. We also have limited amounts of broccoli. The pepper crop is really abundant and good this year. We are overstocked on lovely red peppers so I just changed the red pepper price to the same as green. This applies both to full boxes or retail amounts. The tomato plants are looking rough in the field which means that even though we have floods of tomatoes now that will change soon. If you want canning tomatoes this year sooner is better than later. We are digging sweet potatoes as needed for the stand for fresh eating. I will dig the whole field later either when we have frost or the soil temp gets too cold for farther growth. If you plan to stock up on storage sweet potatoes for the winter wait till after the main harvest. After digging them there is a 7 day curing process that makes a better storing potato. Daniel
