morning on the river

“And when you crush an apple with your teeth, say to it in your heart:

Your seeds shall live in my body,
And the buds of your tomorrow shall blossom in my heart,
And your fragrance shall be my breath,
And together we shall rejoice through all the seasons.”

-Kahlil Gibran

october garden morning SATURDAY the 12th

WHO: littleGrasse shareholders + friends
WHAT: group morning in the garden with potluck to follow
WHEN: Saturday October 12th  at 9am, with potluck at noon
WHERE: share barn at 309 Miner Street Road

What shall the weather do next weekend? Good question. We'll hope for something not too outlandish. This dry sunny stretch has been miraculous for the fall roots harvest.

Remember the potluck theme of CANADIAN THANKSGIVING!
We'll be making a pumpkin soup and a baked dessert for lunch. You're welcome to bring a plate or bowl, last month we nearly ran out.

Reminder: No on street parking. First cars park on grass at edges of driveway in barnyard. If that's full, there should be space at the farmhouse next door.

who's your farmer?!

Here's the scoop on this week's offerings:

BOK CHOY
green BASIL 
CARROTS
german extra hardy GARLIC
hot PEPPERS
sweet lipstick PEPPERS  (last week of peppers)
sunshine WINTER SQUASH
green and purple TOMATILLOS (for fresh salsa)

Along with the good and beautiful plants a garden can give us, it also brings the world into focus, plants into relationship, and that’s terrifically exciting. We needn’t be botanists for this to unfold; mostly we just have to look and relationships will show themselves. That stinky gourd with the grey leaves in the back corner of the garden makes the same flower as the zucchini. Hmmmm. Radish leaves have the same shape as kohlrabi and turnips, and by the way are all in the same family. Can you cook radish leaves? (Yes.) And so it goes.
