Well, everything is peaking at once: squash, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers...And the weather keeps co-operating. The zucchini plants have usually collapsed by this time of year, and I could sorely use the space for greens for fall...but they keep producing!
A quick yummy no-fuss zucchini treat.
The cooler nights have been great for the micro-greens, so we have a very full bag of pea shoots and a tangy mix of asian greens and arugula.
The heirloom tomatoes have been fantastic, but it's very hard to get enough ripe at once--and not overripe!!!--for the CSA distribution. They have not peaked yet, so perhaps next week. There are a decent number for sale, though. If you've been reluctant to try these gnarly, misshapen, oddly colored fruits: get over it! The range of flavors is remarkable, and sliced, they make the most beautiful salads.
Also for sale at the stand: Lou's corn, melons and cantaloupes, Cayuga Pure Organic grains and beans (fantastic!), Arethusa cheeses, milk, and yogurt, grass fed cow butter, and Red Jacket juices and apple sauce.
Also, I have a few of the chicken pot pies left. Left me know if you want one.
In this weeks share:
Pint of cherry tomatoes
zucchini or eggplant
cucumbers or peppers
pea shoots
tangy micro-green mix
head of lettuce
apples and peaches or nectarines, or quart of plums
Anyone who ordered plum canning tomatoes, I'll have them boxed or bagged for you.
See you tomorrow!
