Recipe

How about a homemade pasta sauce with chunked eggplant, peppers, onion, garlic, a little bit of celery, tomatoes and fresh basil sprinkled on right before serving.  And of course some parmesan cheese (if only I could produce that myself!)

What’s Happening on the Farm

The potatoes and garlic have all been dug and set to cure.  Unfortunately the summer weather has lessened the yield so they won’t be keeping us stocked throughout the winter.  The tomatoes are finally loaded and ripening quickly!  Time for salsa making!  The second crop of beans are coming along as well as the first crop, flowering after the last rain. 

A fall crop of lettuce has been transplanted outside, spinach seeds have been planted outside as well as lettuce inside the greenhouse for a late fall harvest.
