Still have potatoes!

Thanks to all who came to the pumpkin patch this year. We had a great time meeting many people and hope to see you all again next year. I'd like to make a Straw maze for the children next year, and with a little better planning on my part, I'll get it done!

We still have lots of potaotes and some squash left. Potatoes are in 50 pound boxes. $18 for reds and yellows $15 for Russets. We can also get them through the winter.

Happy Fall y'all!

Harvesting week of September 7

Sweet corn--still lots left! the main variety on now is called "Serendipity", an excellent freezing corn variety. $3.00 per dozen, or we'll work with you if you're buying 20 dozen or more for freezing. Just ask us

Green beans-- still growing. they're getting a little on the "mature" side, but still good, I think.

Onions--small but lots of flavor

Carrots--didn't turn out very pretty this year, but are so good! Scarlet Nantz variety

Zucchini and summer crookneck--Still growing. Plants got a light "toasting" the other night when it got cold, but are still producing.

Winter Hubbard Squash-- Nearly ready. We tried one for dinner a few nights ago, yum!

Potatoes--Red and Russet available. In a few weeks we'll have access to Russet potatoes for winter storage. We'll keep you updated on this as it gets closer

Cucumbers--we have a long list for pickling cukes, but still have slicers available.

Pumpkins--plan now to come to our pumpkin patch. Bring the little ones and your camera to wander through the patch to pick the perfect pumpkin. Straw bales available for free photo opportunity. Families in the past few years have told us how much they've enjoyed themselves. Patch will be open October 1 through 31 from 3 to 8 pm Mon through Fri and Saturday from 11 am to 8 pm.

We'll be available at the Rexburg Farmer's Market Friday the 10th from 4 pm to 8 pm or come see us at Scotty's in Rigby Saturday morning until we sell out.

Harvesting week of July 31

It's almost August! We can hardly believe it.

The peas are now finished. Now it's on to Green Beans......yummy!

We've also got a bumper crop of Zucchini (green and yellow) and Yellow Crookneck Squash. My favorite!

Sweet corn will be ready to almost ready in two weeks.

This morning I picked a cucumber (the only one I noticed), about five inches long. Two more weeks and they'll be ready to go.

Red Potatoes are tasty and getting better. Also available: Russets, yellows and purples.

Tomatoes are coming along. If we can get the weather to warm up we'll have a great crop.

See you at the Rexburg Farmers Market, Friday's through September, or at Scottys in Rigby, Saturday mornings through August :-)

Green beans should start this weekend. They're tiny now and looking like a great crop.

Red potatoes are harvesting now, and fantastic!

Zucchini and crookneck yellow squash will be ready starting this weekend.

Harvesting week of July 12

Thanks for stopping by!

We have peas ready. They will only last for approximately 10 more days, could be as many as 14 days, but sometimes it's hard to tell. Pick your own are $1.00 per pound. Already picked are $2.00 per pound

Spinach is usually available, probably for the next couple of weeks.

New baby potatoes are ready, and so good! $1.00 per pound.

Looking ahead:

Green beans should be ready starting the 20th.

Cucumbers are doing really well. Mid August is about the time for those to start.

Check back for regular updates on how the harvesting is going, and as always, feel free to share this blog with family, friends, neighbors who are looking for fresh, local garden produce. Until next week, good eating!

OK it's been a little bit longer than a month......

Haven't updated, because it rained nearly the entire month of June. Our pipe movers (children) were glad for the long break and sleeping in, in the morning.

Peas are ready! Also spinach and beets. Very soon new red baby potatoes, Yum!!

Tomato plants are doing well and survived the transplant, which can stress them out. Cucumbers are weeded and doing well, pumpkins are looking good, sweet corn is finally gaining some height. Green beans are looking good and will likely be ready in 2-3 weeks.

We have produce at the Rexburg farmer's market every friday through the summer. The market is from 4-8 P.M.

Look for more frequent updates now that Summer has decided to stick around ;-)

Feel free to pass this around to family, friends, neighbors who are looking for fresh, local produce. Thanks for stopping by!
