Grass Is Greener Gardens

We have tried to get the word out as many ways as possible, but our turkeys will not be ready for Thanksgiving. Sorry. (Plan a turkey for Christmas?)

We forgot to mention the last, last, last shares of the season: storage shares. If you have received a storage share, here’s what’s inside: 20 pounds of potatoes in two varieties; russet and adirondack red. The reds make great pink mashed potatoes.
