It has been a busy two weeks on the farm since I last blogged. Last week the rain fell, wind blew and hail pounded down on all the crops. We were left with flaccid beans, lettuce with wind burn, and flattened spinach. I'm laughing as I write this, but it wasn't all that funny.
Most of our winter squash has been harvested, and is now curing in the greenhouse. And on the weekend we pulled most of our onions. The bean pole tipis have been dismantled, along with most of the tomato trellis.
I have started stringing up our hot peppers in the drying room; hence "Red hot Hot Chile Peppers".
The Saturday markets are going well; come down this Saturday morning!
On Thanksgiving I did a demonstration on how to make Kale Chips and Kale Smoothies at the Maritime Fall Fair; check out http://inthekitchenwithfrancesca.blogspot.com for those recipes.
