Week 19 update: Frost last night

I spoke too soon in my previous post about the being able to harvest eggplant, tomatoes and peppers for the rest of this week! We had an unexpected light frost overnight (a low of 39 was predicted, but it was 31 on the farm this morning at 7am), which has damaged our PYO tomatoes, green beans and hot peppers. We'll still keep those crops open Monday and Tuesday, but please note that anything you pick should probably be consumed sooner rather than later. If you are a Thursday/Friday person and have not yet used all 3 of your passes to switch pick-up days, you may use one of them this Monday or Tuesday to pick up your share instead of Thursday/Friday. Please note that the only difference between the share this Monday/Tuesday and on Thursday/Friday is that the PYO options will be reduced later in the week (the share in the barn should be the same).

The field tomatoes and sweet peppers may have escaped most of the damage (they are in a spot that gets sun earlier in the day than the PYO tomatoes, and thus thawed out much earlier). Hopefully we'll be able to at least pick one more harvest out of them this week before tilling them in.
