We had another enjoyable week in the garden. Time to get some major weeding done that has been on the “MUST do” list for some time and it feels really good to see these areas cleaned up. Our fall crops are coming along and I think we will start picking wonderful winter squash and pie pumpkins soon. The spinach has germinated well even in the heat of the last 2 weeks. We were a bit worried and now relieved. Lots of fun stuff yet to come. We are excited for the change in the season and really looking forward to the cooler temperatures and beautiful colors around the corner….
WHAT IS IN YOUR BOX
French Fingerling Potatoes-These are sure delicious. Wonderful fried, roasted or in soups or stews. One of our favorite potatoes.
Lettuce-That wonderful romaine is back and also a buttercrunch too this week.
Edamame-This is a fun snack. We quickly boil in salty water-pod and all for about 4-5 minutes, drain and then eat by pulling the pod through our teeth to get the beans out. We eat them hot or cold. The beans can also be removed from the pod and added raw to salad or cooked in a stir fry or sauce.
Pepper Medley-It is a great pepper year! A beautiful collection. All sweet or mildly “hot” except for the those small pretty dark green jalapeno beauties for salsa.
Zucchini-A combo of patty pan and long slender varieties.
Cucumbers-I know week 3 of thinking they were done…..but really now it is done. The end for the season.
Cherry Tomatoes-A Quart again this week. If you did not try it last week do give it a shot this week. Oven roasted cherry tomatoes are fantastic. Slice in half, lightly toss with olive oil, put a bit of parchment on a cookie sheet and evenly spread the cherry tomatoes out. Lightly salt and place in a preheated 250 degree oven. 2.5-3.5 hours until done.
Paste and Slice tomatoes-The usual bounty…..choose a few.
Garlic-A nice big head of a variety called Music.
Eggplant-STILL going…..beyond amazing. I have never seen anything like it.
Basil-a new fresh juicy crop that was just trimmed for caprese salads.
The colorful pepper harvest ready to be packed in the weekly boxes.
