weeks ago could not find a place to write. also wanted to have organized the meeting of partners here in October. But we could not: month has been a dense, with many unforeseen outside of work, health problems in the family ...
First, clarification the contents of the boxes. One of the new members ask me for the aromatic grass two weeks ago was basil, many already know. And in the last box got a bit of parsley .
Tomatoes and going to least: some have left, it has started to get cold. Anyway, the picture you can see some of the varieties who have been receiving: Heart beef, Russian, Steak, Black Crimea, Tirvia and Marmande. Also last week brought a few boxes of pear type tomato, which is typically used to make salsa, when you finish blush. 
Another question that I heard is about the varieties of pepper you receive. The last two weeks and the next (last October) receive mostly Italian sweet peppers type , the somewhat whimsical elongated normally sold when green for cooking, frying, roasting, and in this case go ripe, red or Pinton, but can be used equally. also these weeks, in some cases are some other types such as yellow or red squares.
This week will also some grilling and the local variety goat horn in some cases. Long, curved and pointy. Sting a bit but the itching is only on the lighter ones color strips where seeds, or in the "placenta" of the pepper. If carefully removed, the rest does not itch and for many is the most delicious variety.
pepper If you are tired, think that it is short and perhaps in a few months echéis less. You can make a simple roasting or sauté canned in strips or chunks with onions or alone, and once drained, bagged and frozen for use in dishes you do in the future.
Soon we will send a small string of chorizo \u200b\u200bpeppers that you will have to hang in a ventilated room, to finish drying. Once dry, you can use them for winter soups or sauces. 
October tasks have been marked by the weather forecast: sunny days preceding the first frost we rush to collect all the remaining onions (photo), pumpkins and half potatoes. We have them already in the store. Iced
heartily. Even inside the greenhouse, the tops of the tomatoes and beans were burnt.
And these days ago, in anticipation of rain, we finished threshing beans at full speed and we planted beans and peas for spring and removed the grass to the leeks and cabbage. On time. I already sent
leeks, which about time. And squash. This year has been very well the variety potimarron (I think the more technical name is Red Kuri Hokkaido). We also planted in April, "Peanut" and the long of Gernika, which is most common in stores. But the seed of the latter failed and there is little. The first shipment will potimarron . I remind you that you can eat the skin, removing the warts or rough scars.
We started the cucumber plants and eggplant soon do the same with the zucchini. So, say goodbye to these vegetables until next summer. 
this year failed August planting spinach seed in poor condition and replant in September. With less sun grow cold and slow, you will arrive later than expected, perhaps in winter. For the first weeding (weeding) between rows of spinach, cabbage and onions, we use the wheel hoe (photo). There are sunny afternoons curious creatures who come to help in this task. In this case I do not know what it is: an elf or small mammal bone?
As you are seeing the variety of green chard stalk wide works better here than last year ( Amarilla de Lyon). Go pads are coming out in the greenhouse, right?. It's nice to collect them (photo). This week, perhaps a box will come chard varied collection of colors that have outdoors. 
also began with Pippin Juanjo ecological Gandia Caderechas the nearby valley. I said this year there pears (of those who loved so much last year). The few that have eaten congealed rogues "jayos." Just call Hence the jays, these colorful birds that seem to laugh aloud when you sneak into the forest.
nights of frost reddened leaves of dogwood, the escarrios (so called here to maple) and wild cherry. And the downpours of the past week have brought the real autumn melancholy days and wood smoke. In the village
we have the sad farewell to nisin, a dear neighbor who recently passed away, which some of you know last fall: was he who took the potatoes in their tractor on the day you came to the fall meeting.
This year I do not know if we can arrange food for partners fall in the village. Maybe by mid-November, although it is cold, 14 or 21 November. If possible, I tell you. Hugs.
