Sarah Grant and Anthony Girard, Erin and Noah Etheridge, and Susan Perkins - all rolled in here at 9AM Saturday morning despite the cold - and got right to work untangling and dismantling irrigation tubing and hoses, pulling up tomato and pepper stakes, and taking down all of the heavy fencing we used for trellising up the peas, beans, and lemon and green cukes.

Susan Perkins spent the morning harvesting the seed from the dried pods in the okra patch. (I now have enough seed to plant out 10 times the okra we had this year!) And if that wasn't enough - she stayed an additional 2 hours and finished taking apart and rolling up the last 250 feet of heavy irrigation hoses and lines from the big garden.
...
Your shares this week will include: Red Sails Lettuce, Turnip and Mustard Greens, Radishes (I learned this week - thanks to Susan Perkins, that they are WONDERFUL cooked - sautéed in butter and salt and pepper and/or butter and honey.
...
We have been carefully weeding and working over all of the plants that survived the summer in an effort to keep them alive until cooler temps (Thanks go out to member Susan Perkins who came out weeded a LOT of them this past Friday!), and I've been in denial I think, about the spots that I have detected on them.
