Hi amanda - my Carola potatoes are holding out very well. Most of the winter squash has faded (molded) - and the parsnips are a tad soft - but my spuds are still delicious. Roasted some up last night.

see you for a while on sunday week - got our slow food kickoff dinner that evening. take care, jj

Hi again Penobscot, Something else to consider about farmers' markets. It always makes sense to go inland with your catch. There is a bit more driving involved, but there is far less local competition, and I know several farmers' Markets that would…
