My dear community,
A few weeks ago our ice machine at the farm broke which came with the lesson that broccoli does not like the heat. Within a matter of hours mine turned from bright green to yellow. We should have better luck with the broccoli this week as our ice machine is back up and running. There are so many ways to use broccoli, and get kids to love it. Roasting broccoli with olive oil and topping it with a squeeze of lemon juice and Parmesan is a favorite side in our household.
As the days get shorter we’re starting to plant the greenhouses for the winter. Tomatoes and cucumbers will have an extended season due to the extra heat the houses provide. We’ve been working on moving green houses to and from different locations which kept us busy this week. We’ve accumulated new equipment so we’ve decided to expand the operation a little bit.
We just planted cauliflower and I’m really looking forward to it in December.
Be good to each other.
