Meet Matilda, the new Garden Dog!
Whew. Tough week. Had to cut harvest day short today--greens won't keep well if picked when the temperature is too high...looks like a 5 a.m. out in the field kind of day tomorrow!!!
This heat will finish the early strawberries--always the most tender of the season--so we're including a full quart in this weeks share. Later strawberries have good flavor, too, but they're never as succulent. Enjoy!
Northern orchards were hit hard by frosts this spring after the early heat accelerated growth. Cherries will be in extremely short supply this year, and the price is high. Part of Red Jacket's cherry orchard was spared a frost when the trees were in flower, and they have some cherries, and now we have them. They are delicious. They are not in the share, but are available for sale. If you're a cherry lover, strike now!
Out kale crop is beautiful this year, and we offer a healthy bunch in this week's share.
This week and next will be the last for garlic scapes...then we wait until mid-summer for the garlic itself.
This is true transitional mode in the garden--spring crops are finishing, summer crops are finally getting going. Just sowed some heat tolerant lettuce, more turnips, beets, and lots of micro-greens.
Stay cool...well, try anyway.
In this week's share:
1 quart strawberries
1.5 lb tomatoes
15 garlic scapes
kale
choice of romaine lettuce, swiss chard, mustard greens, komatsuna, or salad mix
