Below is this week's availability list. Among what's new this week, we have young turnip greens, garlic Italian artisan bread, whole wheat bread with sunflower and flax seeds, rolls, sandwich bread, gluten free cookies, and hot pepper vinegar, pint.
Mockingbirds and warblers....I tell them that bees, butterflies and lizards are off limits but I'm not sure they listen to me. I took some photographs of the little warbler with worm in mouth as he fluttered in the mimosa tree looking for those nasty pests that like our gourds. I'll update our littleedenheirloomfarm.blogspot.com website later this week and hope some of my photos do him justice and are good enough to post.
We're adding new fall crops almost daily as well as adding new items to our custom baking line, thanks to our wonderful customers, we are speedily growing in production. Seven different kinds of lettuces and Asian stir-fry greens are growing nicely; spinach, brussel sprouts and kale should be poking themselves up soon. We'll start harvesting micro (small) cuttings within the next two weeks and should start harvesting Burgundy Okra next week.
Along with harvesting produce for tomorrow's trip to the Organic Growers' Market at Lake Ella, Tallahassee, today Ron finished laying chips over a approx. 20' x 50' tilled bed. This bed grew tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons, and cantaloupe, in the spring and summer and now will work for us by growing lots of cabbages, broccoli, beets, kale, greens, lettuces, radishes, carrots and more. I worked baking bread and sculpting clay birds in my art studio for shipment to Illinois, Australia and Italy. I am so so excited this bed is ready for planting as we have thousands of seeds begging to grow, all heirloom, all grown organic. It has certainly been another busy day but we love it.
Thank you so much, we look forward to hearing from you!
