CSA WEEK 6



Ok.  How about some rain chants?

Check out the last 6 months for the Danbury area on this page:

Precipitation status

How about the national crop moisture report (buy corn futures!):

Crop moisture

How about Drought status?

Drought report

Our wells are ok!

Fantastic share this week.  We dug the garlic and the new potatoes today!  They are uncured, so they're not for keeping.  Eat the potatoes soon, the garlic within a couple of weeks.  We have a fantastic crop of each, and you'll be getting them each week in the shares coming up.  The flavors of each are very good, and you will likely never want to buy store bought garlic again after tasting this!

At the stand, apricots and yellow plums from Red Jacket, Appleridge chickens, Arethusa dairy, some primo salad mix, a few small heads of a new iceberg lettuce I tried this spring--worth planting a bigger crop of it, for sure.

Here's the share:

1.  Pea shoots (pea shoot pesto!)
2.  Pint of blueberries
3.  1 lb. potatoes
4.  1 lb. tomatoes
5.  Choice of chard or kale or asian greens or sorrel
6. 4 heads of garlic
7.  Beets( not many) or 3 kohlrabi or 2 cucumbers or 2 zucchini

Enjoy!  Did you try the kohlrabi last week?????
