This has been a summer to judge all summers against, and it looks like it will keep on rolling on. Eggplants and peppers are sizing up nicely, the heirloom tomatoes are juuuuuussssttt coloring up, the cherry tomatoes fly off the stand as fast as I can harvest them, and many of the fall crops I seeded last week have germinated.
Another good summer share this week: a head of heat resistant lettuce, french sorrel, basil or chives, potatoes, peaches, corn, and beets or kale or arugula.
We're very pleased to be offering organic grains and beans from Cayuga Organics in the Fingerlakes Region near Ithaca, NY. We've heard many good things about this farm, and now have black and pinto peans, farro, polenta, and wheat berries from them. Give them a try!
Corn is difficult to give out in the share because we have several large families and many couples. We're giving out 4 ears of Lou's fantastic corn; if you need more, please feel free to buy more!
In addition to the peaches in the share, we have nectarines, red plums, and blueberries. We also have Concord Grape Jam from Red Jacket Orchard. Perfect for PB&J sandwiches!
The sunny part of the Garden is overwhelmed with flowers--take a stroll if you have time!
