Summer CSA week 12

8/17/2016

0 Comments

 
The rain finally came, and all at once. Three inches over the past 4 days, (which is more rain than we've seen cumulatively all season long)  with a bit of washout in some of the newest plantings. Everything with established roots is looking happy and healthy with new growth. 

This week's shares:

Small: Parsley, celery, sweet peppers, tomatoes (heirlooms and cherry) pickling cucumbers, summer squash, and red bunching onions

Regular: parsley, celery, sweet peppers, tomatoes (heirloom and cherry) pickling cucumbers, red bunching onions, summer squash, mini cabbage, dandelion greens, and striped Armenian or slicing cucmbers.

We were having some technical difficulties with our internet service earlier this week, which is why the newsletter is brief without pictures and so late. 

Try making some fresh tobouli salad with your parsley, tomatoes, and onions. We like to substitute quinoa for the bulgur wheat. 

The celery is not the best we've ever grown, and we know the hearts are quite damaged, but the outside stems are great and have wonderful flavor to add to any soup stock, or salad. 

We hope everyone enjoys their shares this week.
