Garlic fresh from the ground
Hello CSA Members,
It’s Week 6 and we are beyond excited to be giving you some truly hearty summer foods to enjoy! This week your share will include:
Lettuce Mix
Kale
Chard
Cabbage
Sugar Snap Peas
Hakurei Turnips
Carrots
Cucumbers
Yukina Savoy (a green from the cabbage family that is excellent raw or cooked)
Summer Savory
…and other items!
We took a lot of pictures this week, so I will let them do the talking:
Monstrous soft neck garlic we harvested today
The bed that held the garlic is a now clean slate for the winter squash plants to stretch out in to grow their long vines.
And in the winter squash patch: a tiny baby butternut squash
Cucumbers left to right: Marketmore, National Pickling, and Lemon
The prolific cucumber patch appearing deceptively calm. In fact, it is buzzing with a multitude of pollinating bees.
The fennel is growing every day and is almost ready to go home with you!
And the tomatoes are slowly plumping up in the summer heat.
Have a lovely week of wonderful summer eating, everyone!
