Happiest Halloween to all. Hope these vegetables balance out any sugar intake that may occur 😀 We will be going to sleep early Wednesday night so eat an extra butterfinger for me. I’m not a huge fan of candy, but I can definitely get down with a butterfinger or peanut butter cup on occasion.
The farm has been having a lot of trouble storing onions. We usually grow onions during the summer and then store them in our barn for the year. The weather doesn’t want to cooperate and we’ve up throwing a lot into our compost piles. The heavy fog and damp air cause the onions tend to go moldy or sprout. So I’m loading the CSA boxes with the good onions that remain for as long as I can. Pretty soon they will be gone until next year. So if you find yourself with more onions than you can use, just put them in a dry, dark space until you need them.
We are also quickly going to run out of things like zucchini (our last crop got a bad case of mildew), tomatoes and red bell peppers. This is why we are having a repeat this week of some familiar things.
