Beets, tomatoes, arugula, daikon, sweet pepper, shallots, collards and radicchio. The radicchio is a week earlier than planned and there was a choice of either Lusia (variegated) or Verona (red). The daikon is just a chunk of root in most shares. Germination was poor which gave the remaining plants generous space to grow, and so they mostly got huge! Daikon keeps pretty well in the fridge even when it’s just a chunk. We should have tomatoes but maybe no sweet peppers in next week’s share. This is later than either the peppers or tomatoes usually go, a product of the relatively drier, warmer fall we’ve been having. It looks like that is about to change, as expected.

Today was pretty much nothing but harvest and packing CSA shares. I did manage to get some of the over wintered crops raked to knock back the weeds. In the field the cover crop that got seeded two weeks ago seems to have taken advantage of the recent rain and germinated quite nicely.
