In Wales there are jewels
To gather, but with the eye
Only. A hill lights up
Suddenly; a field trembles
With colour and goes out
In its turn; in one day
You can witness the extent
Of the spectrum and grow rich
With looking. Have a care;
This wealth is for the few
And chosen. Those who crowd
A small window dirty it
With their breathing, though sublime
And inexhaustible the view.
R.S. Thomas
Mid-autumn is unfolding gently, with ample sun and rain. Farming is an inexact science, if science at all, and the last sowing of beans is always a crap-shoot where snake eyes is as likely as lucky 7. We lucked out this year, and have lovely and tasty romano and dragon tongue beans to show for it in this week's share.
I'm not certain of the final contents, as we didn't finish harvesting before dark this evening, but it will include the following:
Cabbage--Napa or green or Bekana
Gator Swiss Chard--Here's 23 delicious recipes for chard
Beets--baby beets with leaves, or larger
French Sorrel--50 things to do with French Sorrel
Salad mix with microgreens!!!
yellow onions
5 apples
Also available will be radishes, peppers, kale, and arugula to choose from--I'll figure out the numbers in the morning and everything will be posted on the board.
We have some pastured ground beef, chicken, and bacon.
Leeks in limited supply.
See you tomorrow!
