Season 2: Week 20 : October 14: Rain!

Cold and rainy.

Washed bins in the cool water, which means my jeans got soaking wet as I was too lazy to put on the yellow rubber pants that makes you look like a clown. I also thinned spinach and helped set up distribution.

Season 2: Week 19 : October 7: Tomatoes...no more!

The tomatoes are gone. Most of the left over plants and stems in the fields have been turned in (that is "plowed under"). The soil is now ready for a cover crop.

We harvested peppers, and cut cilantro for the collective. The parking field was muddy, so I was assigned to "parking services". For their pickup, the members had to park on the road walk down a small hill to the distribution table and then walk back up with their share. I was available for assistance for any one needing help carrying their shares up the hill to the car.

We had carrots, various greens including chard, red peppers, hot peppers, lettuce, fennel, delicato squash (3), pumpkin. The choice table had potatoes, eggplants, small peppers, radishes
