A very happy week here in the gardens….

Final plantings are all in except for late spinach and the usual lettuce rotations. We are hauling out the potatoes and a beyond great tomato harvest this week.

The storage onions and shallots are just about cured and will appear in future shares. Our cucumber plants are just about done and ready to retire for the season same with zucchini patch #1 and the next rotation of green beans flowering. We did our taste test in the melon patch and think we will start the harvest next week. Fingers crossed.

AND! we went and did our first check of the winter squash ornamental pumpkin patch….fantastic!

CSA #10

Summer Squash-Enjoy…Patch 1 is just about done and #2 slowing down as well….we are nearing the end of this summer staple.

CORN! We had to do it again….it is soooooooooooo good this year! Thanks to John Raupp-Raupp Family Farm for providing this treat.

Fennel-Great with a beet fennel salad and delicious grilled too. Shave in fresh salads for a unique flavor.

Garlic-An image from harvest. Scott has all the garlic cleaned up and ready for the shares. We will have garlic every other week. Great harvest thanks to Jeannie and Brad. Bulk garlic for sale starting next week. And who knew-garlic freezes very well for winter meal prep.

Best Guess for next week-melon???, head lettuce, cabbage, peppers and more….
