What a day! It’s been alternating between a drizzle and torrential downpour since early this morning. To cheer you guys up this grey, chilly, rainy day, we’ve got a fun surprise for you!

…and now for something completely different!

We tend to focus on the veggies around here, but there are other stars at Vegetable Husband besides what’s in the basket. This week, I got to chat with a couple of our newest drivers.

I know, I’ve been saying for weeks that these lovely peppers are on their way out, but this time, I mean it.

We’re due to get our first freeze this week or over the weekend, and that means no more rainbows of peppers for us. But don’t despair! Fall and winter means tons of gorgeous greens and baskets heavy with apples and root veggies!

Say goodbye to peppers, but say hello to bright, beautiful carrots:
