Fall crops are on the way

By pronald on September 13, 2010.

We are eating well in Davis, California.

Below is an update from Raoul about the UC Davis Student Farm fall planting.

Carrots, beets, spinach, rutabagas, turnips, radishes, daikon, cilantro and fennel are in the solarized beds germinating. We also transplanted broccoli, cabbage, collards, kale, cauliflower, and kohlrabi. Fall crops are on the way.

We need now to protect them from weeds, rabbits, squirrels, bugs, and diseases. If we are successful, everyone eats. If not, the village goes hungry and we go back to hunting/gathering (which would make for an interesting CSA basket).

Today's baskets include: peppers, okra, onions, garlic, chard, basil, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, tomatillos, jujubes (not certified organic), figs, grapes, long beans, and eggplant.

The produce was picked and packed with love by: Judy, Larisa, Kori, Jesse, Jessica, Ari, Ethan and Raoul
