It’s time to harvest the pumpkins and squash
October 16, 2024
We LOVE autumn – especially when it’s the right moment to bring in the Halloween pumpkins and winter squashes.
Our growers and Thursday volunteer team had great fun picking them and laying them out to ‘cure’ under cover. The pumpkins will go in the Halloween veg boxes, and the squash will be put in the cool store for winter use.
In all the weekly veg boxes:-
*green chillies
*aubergines or *green peppers
*tenderstem broccoli or *red Russian kale
*tomatoes
*cucumbers
*melon ‘Blenheim Orange’
*potatoes ‘Manitou’ (Trerair Farm, St Eval)
Also in the standard boxes:
*beetroot
*French beans or *white turnips
*salad leaf mix
