We expect the temperature to drop to 19 tonight. The caterpillar tunnels are up, closed and functioning well. We will say goodbye to the salad greens not in the tunnels. They served us well and they will be missed. Some mustards, some loose leaf lettuces, some parsley, some cilantro and a row of pretty heading lettuces were harvested the last time Tuesday.
We have beets, onion starts, carrots, lettuces, mustards, spinach and mache under the tunnels. Mache was planted Tuesday, after pulling some beets and carrots.
There will be ample produce available at Farmer's Market in Exira Friday and Harlan Saturday. Squash, pumpkin for that Thanksgiving pie, turnips, salad greens, spinach, kohlrabi, tomatos, carrots and beets will be sold, along with the baked goods Doris provides (banana bread, pumpkin bread, roll-up breads, wheat and white bread and pies).
We wish you a happy and prosperous Thanksgiving. Doris and Carl look forward to dinner with the grandchildren in Audubon. Our prayer is that all have a loving and caring family to gather with. This holiday is the one that most emphasizes family, inventorying our multitude of blessings and reaching out to those less fortunate. Share your meal with the less fortunate and forgotten in your neighborhood and you will be abundaqntly blessed.
