sorry was having trouble getting on here to up date.
I hope you all are watching your total balance on your reciept every week the past few weeks -- just don't any of you to loose your money.
One share member just donated a large part of her share to a group that she knows that helps feed people in need.. I think that is such a great thing to be able to do and to think of doing so. I know it is a nice feeling as every year I try to donate something to the senior center here.

(Getting a half a share does not promise you that should you use it up that you can get one more half share in the middle of the season.- as my goal before spring will be to have a certian dollare amount of shares sold -- rather it is in more 1/2 share or less in full.)

THERE IS ONLY GOING TO BE 2 (TWO) PICK UP DAYS A WEEK -- SUNDAY WILL BE ONE NOT SURE WHICH WILL BE THE OTHER YET.
HINTS:
Best to store sweet potatoes in a cool dry, dark area and not to move them any more then you have to as the more you turn them and move them the faster they will spoil.
Hot and Sweet Peppers can be washed top cut off and cut how you want and put in to freeze. Will be soft when you go to use them. Also can dry the hot peppers. Cabbage keeps for weeks in your refrigerator.
WANT TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THIS YEAR AND HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR... BARB
