In your share:

Another pound of our brownish looking "ugly" garlic. This is all the CSA members will get for the season. I will have more available for purchase (to help cover some end of year farm expenses).
Our basil is showing signs of stress from going back and forth between freezing and really hot (inside the greenhouse), so I cut back most of the plants for a nice big bag for everyone. There are some brown leaves you may choose to discard, but there should still be enough to make a big batch of pesto (one of my favorites). Or, if you can't use it all in a week, maybe chop some up and put in the freezer for later.
We started digging potatoes this week. Half of them are out of the ground and in boxes in our basement. You'll be getting a bag of potatoes each week for as long as they last. This year we planted Red Norlands, Yukon Golds, and two kinds of fingerlings. One row of each and they appear to have done very well.
Quote of the week here on the farm: "I think this has been your best year ever!" You know, it's hard to remember from year to year, but this may be true. This has certainly been a great year to be a member of our CSA.
It's one month away from when our first grandchild is born. Everytime my daughter calls, my heart races. When the moment comes, I am to drop everything and drive to Ogden to be there. And I look forward to it. I'm putting several plans in place to have the farm harvest continue in my absence. It's a very busy time to leave, but we have a great crew of workshares who I'm confident can fill in for me as needed.
Have a great week and ENJOY your veggies!
