ITS IN THE BAG!
When I went outside this morning around 9 a.m. in the cold and mist, Denziel was in the side garden picking carrots; I saw them later drying and being bunched. They are beautiful. I don’t have time today to find my recipes for spaghetti squash, the one with toasted pecans. You can treat it as a winter squash and eat it in chunks or prepare it as a spaghetti squash, baking it upside down on a tray or pyrex dish, then scoop it out with a fork in spaghetti like threads; serve with red sauce or a garlic butter sauce.

ONE OF THREE FINALISTS!
The Organic Farm has been nominated as one of three finalist for the Starwood Hotels and resorts Worldwide Inc. Corporate Partner of the Year Award. We were nominated by Hospitality Newfoundland and Labrador. The affair takes place in Saint John, New Brunswick in early November. Air Canada has offered one free ticket but there are other expenses, so it is not likely that awe will go. Stay tuned!

GOOD WEATHER FOR DUCKS!
But, then, again they are headed South. Instead we are getting ready for winter in spite of the nasty weather. Louis sent in soil samples this morning; Oz has gone to Peter Pans to get packaging. Mike has ordered more compost. Jon, the WOOFER is filling grow bags with potting soil to grow rosemary over the winter. The electrician is coming tomorrow to wire the new winter sprouting house, which is being developed from an old greenhouse, attached to the family house. I am going crazy paying bills, lay off slips, customer statements, etc. Starting tomorrow, Shelley, the WOOFER from Montreal and I will begin our winter gathering, so to speak, freezing beans, pumpkin and tomatoes, bottling the nasturtium vinegar and maybe even some green tomatoes mince meat. Take Care
