A great box again this week…..Scott and I are beyond amazed and oh so pleased with the bounty and quality of this year’s garden. With the hardships and stress of the drought, the hot early spring temperatures and extreme heat of the summer months I think we were fearful of how this season would play out for us as well as our fellow gardeners. WOW! It has really been the best season we have had ever! Thank you all for sharing the garden with us and making this time possible for our family….We are grateful for the life we have here at home with Maeve.
What is in this snazzy box!
Leeks-Big, plump flavorful beauties. Make a tasty potato soup this week or delicious with fried potatoes or eggs. Last week Scott planted almost a 1000 little guys we started in the greenhouse for another winter experiment. We are going to attempt to winter over this planting. We are hopeful this will be a Spring treat in the boxes next year.
Potatoes-Delicious for all styles of cooking-mashed, baked, fried, or in soups. Just dug yesterday. Scott and Malachi got the last of the potatoes out of the ground and in the root cellar. What a good feeling. We had a great harvest this year, high yield per hill and very little cull do to “nibbles”.
Radish-Nice crisp snackers. Pretty round red ones and those delicious long skinny french breakfast.
Beans-Fall green beans are the best. Snappy! I am not sure I feel this way because it is much more pleasant picking now opposed to midsummer when it is 100 degrees and the row seems 500 miles long.
Brussels Sprouts-We are sneaking the big guys off the bottom of the stalks for a early taste. Delicious roasted in the oven.
Zucchini-A nice harvest from the new patch.
Pepper Medley-The beautiful Assortment we are all use to now. All sweet/mild except for the small glossy green jalapeños. With the cool nights and shorter days we are nearing the end of this amazing summer harvest.
Eggplant-Just a few! With tons in the extra/trade box…..feel free to leave them behind if your family is feeling maxed out at this point. The harvest is beyond crazy!
Cucumbers-The vines still have not been pulled down and a few are chugging along.
Cilantro-Salsa!
Cherry Tomatoes-Please let us know if you have a favorite….we are taking notes for next years planting.
Paste/Slice Tomatoes-The slice tomatoes have almost slowed to a stop. There are a few to choose from but the paste are available in abundance.
