A week ago we were baking in the scorching 98 degree dry heat with our eyes on the forecast for mild weather ahead. Now we are grateful for the autumnal weather that allows our fall crops to thrive.

It’s late on Friday and our backs are tired and this week has been very full, but we have such a delicious line up of veggies for you tomorrow that spending this time sending you e-notice is justified.
