10/22,23
This time of year, when people ask, I often say, "sweet corn doesn't end, eventually we just give up". Well, we haven't given up. There will be sweet corn this weekend, including some white corn.
And, I suppose it goes without saying, excellent pumpkins for sale too.

Gourds are here!!; the warty pumpkins are actually gourds too. they are quite hard and dry down to a pale thin shell so one can enjoy them all winter long. the pumpkin crop, like the corn is a little lean, however excellent quality. buy early, supplies are limited.
still harvesting some awful nice corn.
this weekend; sweet corn, corn bundles, broom corn, gourds, pumpkins, honey

limited supply of corn; Mnpls market only
nice corn
I think the fall corn is some of the best eating of the season
maybe its because November is looming and every last taste of summer is that much sweeter

There were a lot of questions this past weekend about the frost. I think the first thoughts that come to mind are our worst fears; it takes time to actaully evaluate, and figure out what if anything was lost.
Is the sweet corn season over? NO
Will it ripen more slowly? Yes
Will the corn be tender and delicious? Yes
Will there be a worm in every ear? oddly enough, No; however, we are starting to see more of them.
How long will we have corn? Supplies will vary from week to week, however there will be some corn until mid October, or until a hard frost.

Squash and fall products are coming soon; like all the crops this year, they are a couple weeks behind so we're leaving them ripen in the field as long as possible. I suspect we'll start harvesting squash the week of Sept 26th

September came fast this year; I guess it always does. I love September because the colors of fall begin to appear, yet there is still green and some of the best vegetables of the season.
There is still a lot of good corn in the fields. I have some that has just tasseled, meaning there is still 3 or 4 weeks of corn.
This coming weekend, Sept 9/10,11 there will be some really nice bicolor; great for freezing.
