Tomato tip #1: If plagued by birds, chipmunks, or other nefarious critters--who all seem to enjoy just one chomp out of each ripening tomato--look for the slightest blush of color on your fruit. Pick them, put them in a cardboard box or bag in a cool, dark place, and let them ripen. Once the tomato shows any color, it has finished it's organic communication with the mother plant. Ripening has nothing to do with being on the vine!!! Another myth shattered!!!!!
Potato informative missive #1: By receiving freshly dug potatoes each week, you are saving me lots of time and effort. Washing, drying, and curing potatoes is an elaborate, delicate process. This way, they stay in the soil until I'm ready to harvest, and you enjoy a meal or two or three worth of potatoes each week. They don't need to keep very long at all, do they? Hope you like potatoes...
Potato informative missive #2: Should you be so mistaken as to subscribe to a "No-Carb" diet, read this about the holy potato: All Hail Potatoes!
In this week's share: Cherry tomatoes!!!!! Purple or green beans. Salad mix or a head of lettuce or spicy salad mix. Pea shoots. Zucchini or patty pan squash or cucumbers or eggplant!!!! Potatoes!!!!! Woodland Farms peaches and apples (Ginger Gold, Redfree)!!!
Did you try the beans and grains from Cayuga Pure Organics? Holy mackerel, you can really taste the difference. Fantastic. They sold very well this past week--thanks for your support!!!
Lou's corn is available. However, I have some very bad new for you...I visited some grocery stores and organic markets this week. I've been giving the corn away!!!!! Stop and Shop desiccated week old ears were going for 60 cents! Non-organic corn in smaller shops were going for 99 cents and 1.25 an ear! How about 75 cents an ear for Lou's corn...does that sound fair? Thanks!
