Get your mushrooms now for Christmas!

We have access to the wonderful assortment of Portobella, Crimini, Shiitake, and Maiitake mushrooms from Davidson’s Exotic Mushrooms on December 14, and then not again until January 11. Therefore, if you would like mushrooms for Christmas, these fresh mushrooms come to you very freshly picked and should last a couple of weeks for you. Simply keep in the paper bag they come in and place in the crisper, creating the proper humidity and temperature to help them last a long time.

What’s new this week?

Hattie’s Garden will harvest arugula for you, and Chesapeake Organic has beautiful baby leeks and two types of Bok Choy. Check out Patty’s soup of the week — curried butternut squash with pumpkin and apples.

If you have any questions at all, please email Hattie directly for a prompt answer.

Remember the deadline for ordering is Wednesday at noon. Unfortunately, we won’t normally be able to take late requests, as we must place vendor orders quickly.

You will receive an updated reminder on Tuesday, but please order early to be sure you get everything you would like. Supplies are sometimes limited.

Yours in the garden throughout the winter,
