Happy Friday!

It's Friday which is harvest day for us at Endeavor Farm. Terry is always up early and we try to pick whatever we can before it gets too hot. He is picking beans as we speak! We usually have to wait until late afternoon or after dinner to pick some of the more delicate things like cilantro and parsley.

Our sunflowers really took off this year and people love seeing them and buying them at the market.
Our tallest plant is 9' - 6"!

 

The garlic has been drying and is almost done. It is certainly edible and we have been selling it but for winter storage, we will keep them hanging for a few more weeks to make sure they are all dried out. We used all of the Leningrad variety for green garlic this year, so are just selling Music, German Porcelain, and Italian Purple Stripe. Please let me know if you aren't in the area and would like some shipped to you!

 

Canning season is far from over and this week Hannah and Bev made 40 jars of salsa! They both now have pears ripening in their basements to can once they're ready. Canned pears are not to be underestimated! The sweetness in the winter is so delicious and they are beautiful as well.
