Cold temperatures are really shutting down growth even in greenhouses. The below freezing temperatures predicted this week and even snow on Friday will most like put an end to outside growing. I will collect what I can harvest and see if it will ripen.
Red cherry tomato seem to be cracking in this weather. There are very few of them anyway. If you want them there will be cracks, even if when we pack them with no cracks. They still are good for a while.
Yellow cherry tomatoes seems more more resistant to cracking but there are even fewer of those.
Brussels Sprouts are showing some size so there will be a few boxes available this week.
Spinach has been picked out so if if it survives the cold it just won’t grow in this weather. In greenhouse growing hasn’t produced a salable crop yet.
Milford Farmers market will continue outside until Nov. 21st. This Saturday should be very chilly.
Francetown’s last market is schedule for this Friday from 4-6:30. Snow is predicted in the morning, so depending on that I may not be attending that market. I have wait and see.
Peterborough Farmers market will be inside the Community Center from 3-5 PM Wednesday. This market plans to continue until Dec 23rd.
