Food: Roasted Garlic and Beets with Greens

Beets are tough little suckers so it takes an hour for them to cook throughout. We either roast them or boil them. We've heard of something called a 'microwave' but believe it's just a fad. 
Beet greens are really tasty to sauté and add to the mix. Salt, pepper, vinegar.

Harvest: Root Vegetables

Because it takes a lot longer for the ground temperature to get to freezing, root vegetables can keep growing when it's freezing outside. It's science! We've gathered the last of said vegetables; beets, carrots and spring onions.

November Flowers

Yes...a few flowers are still hanging on in the cold weather...

The Joys of Urban Farming

Last Harvest of 2008

These peppers are pretty impressive considering it is November! It is a beautiful Fall day in Brooklyn and we gathered the last remaining vegetables until next year. We are planning to make a big grilled pepper and eggplant salad tonight for our final farm dinner. It is sad to see things come to an end for the season...
