Fall CSA Week 3

"At the end of the lane from the rectory to the main road, there was a very large ash tree.  The leaves remained on it very late one autumn, and all yellow.  But one night in November it froze hard until, when morning came, everywhere was white.  There was no wind, but as the sun rose above the hill, the leaves began to thaw in its modest warmth and then fall.  For two hours or more it was as if a golden fountain were playing there, as the leaves fell to form a thick carpet covering the road."

First frost this week, not serious enough to put a stop to anything we have growing.  The hoop houses are buttoned up, the lettuce greens are covered with protection, the beets, turnips, carrots and potatoes are safe below ground.  All greens will sweeten up with the cold, and the lettuces are the finest of the season.

In this week's share:

Red Russian Kale:  638 things to do with kale!!!!!  Also, for those new to the CSA, please find some time to watch this video:  What you eat makes a difference!

Head of lettuce

Salad/microgreens mix (assorted greens with kale, cress, and radish microgreens)

Delicata Squash--my all time favorite.  Keep it simple:  Roasted Delicata

Beets

Garlic Chives and/or regular chives--I harvested these late today and mixed most of them together--whatever!  They can be added to anything you might cook.

Head of garlic--nice to taste real garlic, isn't  it???

Apples

Eat well!!!!
