September is a month of overlap in the world of vegetables.Tomatoes, squash, corn and other summer vegetables are still available in abundance and while most of these are still very good, the cool fall nights and mornings crisp bring with them that tug family in my belly for the Greens robust and roots of downfall. return of harvest moon also marks the onset of winter squashes and pumpkins in conjunction with the event gateway of the holiday season — Halloween!
Our global production purchase Office, this is a delicate moment like buying overlaps between our local and regional producers and much larger domestic producers. As it is practically impossible to identify the exact final season place across the country, our task is to make sure that our Office is willing to support each region during the cold winter months.
At home, the fall garden harvest was a great disappointment. The phenomenon of spring and summer rains that brought exuberant initial growth of the plant for my bed of mystery pumpkin also brought mildew that stole my vineyard and productivity end of the summer.
Many of first squashes and pumpkins were affected as well, with growth stunted or dropping completely outside the vineyard which is bad news for me is a great news for producers of pumpkin and salespeople in the area — it is impossible for me to walk by a pumpkin display without buying something.
Food falling for me is all about vegetables (lettuce and cooking), soups and stews. The combination of Tomato-Cucumber-corn that sustained my family during the summer months will still happen occasionally since October tends to be very soft in my area of the USA, but lettuce salads, Sautéed Greens with rice and a wide variety of soups and stews start working its way into my menu downloads.
One of the most dramatic changes, see this time of year is in color — and not only changes in leaf color in our trees.Cold nights in the field have a dramatic effect on the color, flavor and texture of most line green vegetables.Lettuce and Greens like cabbage cooking tend to grow more slowly and developing a taste sweeter, stronger. leaf structure also tends to be denser – making the lettuce crisper and more fully formed.The color change, however, is by far the most notable — the reds are deeper and dark green.
Outside my very real obsession with sculpture virtually all types of squash and pumpkin, I'm always eager to fall and the changes it brings to the colors and around my house and my diet I don't carve pumpkins so many this year as last (would broke — I have 80 113 recorded last year out of my garden) but I will serve the chipotle chicken cooked, crusty bread, salad of Red leaves butter and copious wine bottles to all my family and friends who come to laugh at all children that come by costumed. so long summer, fall of good welcome.
