Today, Friday September 3rd, is a lot less hot than the past week! We wouldn't mind some rain from hurricane Earl tonight either.  We have strawberries, sugar snaps, tomatoes (heirlooms too), summer squash, zucchini, pickling cukes (which are the best for salads), onions, garlic, pints of potatoes and five pound bags of red-white-yukon gold potatoes (all potatoes from Root Cellar Farm in Northwood) sunflowers, bouquets, dried flowers, glycerin soaps and handmade herbal infusion vegan and goatsmilk soaps.  FYI- today the strawberries are selling as quick as we can pick them and we may run out at some point. We will pick berries again every morning and expect to have them daily.

I sold out of strawberries and sugar snap peas at the Northwood farmers market yesterday. Many folks thought it highly unusual to find NH strawberries in September and I had a lot of explaining to do about these day neutral varieties.  I really enjoy talking about our crops and watching people's faces when they taste these sweet berries. Strawberry shortcake in September sounds good to me!

There is still plenty of tomatoes in the "pick your own" patch. Don't wait too long if you plan on freezing, canning or making up some fresh sauce and then freezing it. At some point the tomato patch will begin to degrade. We still have two other field patches of tomatoes that we hope will be for late fall green/perhaps red tomato pickers.
