Caraflex Cone is the sweetest lady among the cabbages. She has graceful, conical curves and silky smooth leaves.
Try the many features of the "conehead" cabbage:
- Buttery sweet taste
- Mild flavor
- Tender texture
Be sure to store in the refrigerator. If the outer leaves begin to turn brown just peel off a layer or two; it is still very good!

Farmer Phil makes it look easy as he explains garlic curing in a video with fans and tables in the greenhouse.
This year is a TERRIFIC harvest with FABULOUS sized bulbs.
Looks like we'll have garlic all Fall and Winter season long.
[RPFarm COMMUNITY] 
NEW!! Talking about Fall/Winter season we would like to share that we will be launching the auto-renew for the Fall/Winter season in AUGUST. Just a few short weeks away.
This will give last years Fall/Winter members first chance to grab up the farm shares.
Then second chance will go to current members that are new this year (or) current members who did not join us for the cold weather season.
Lastly, the sign-ups will be open to the public.
Be PREPARED...scroll through the pictures HERE to see what you can start GRABBING SOON!

Here is some basil tips from the members' comments in another of the Harvie FB group posts:
- Treat like cut flowers. Add vinegar or lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoons of sugar to water. (Did you know that about flowers??? We didn't!)
- Remove rubber band, trim stems, and place basil in water. It should perk up in a few hours.
- Put next to a window but NOT in the direct sunlight/or fan and most likely it will root.
- "Change" water every day or 2.
- Put a plastic bag over top.
- Leave on the counter. Do not refrigerate.
