Punkins


In an amazing display of planting on time Farmer Bill has managed to have pumpkins ready a month before Halloween. (This would be like the first time...) Great color, although not as large as those Half Moon Bay monsters...yes, size matters! Anyway we'll try again next year on that deal. Some of these are cooking types so we're on the lookout for reciepes. Fall's a coming, things are starting to die down here. But--please come by and pick--we've got new crop cukes, corn, beans, tomatoes, basil, parsley.

Corn Again...


Yes, the next round of corn is coming. You can see both patches in this shot. Ready later this week--or take a look. We tried it last night, True Baby Corn--immature but fun. Summer is almost over, and now we get the best weather of the year! Corn in Berkeley!#?%

Romano Beans Redux



We are blessed with a long growing season--proof is in the newest crop of Romano Beans just coming in--small and sweet, but not for long. So come and pick now! They're in the middle of the next corn crop. Pick low on the vines for now as the upper sections are still small. Thanks to the Birthday Girl for a couple of great Romano recipes from local chefs.
