Our favorite day of the summer: our annual trip to the Dutchess County Fair! I do believe I could have given that blue ribbon winner above a run for his money...
Ok. It's finally time to complain. After endless weeks of absolute perfect summer weather--truly, this summer has been as epic as last winter in its own way--the lack of rain is taking a toll. Our main 2 acre field is impossible to keep properly irrigated right now, and some things are suffering. Our well is limited to about 4 solid hours a day, and that is not enough...hopefully we make it through. Not much else we can do.
In this week's share:
Tomatoes! 2 1/4 pounds!
Blue potatoes--great crop this year.
Tender baby kale/arugula microgreens! Wow, fantastic!
eggplant or peppers
patty pan squash
beans (after observing the bean preference in the CSA this year: don't worry--next year is nothing but green beans!!!!!!)
Radishes--not everyone took these last week...they are great! Some simple and delicious ideas: https://dancinggecko.wordpress.com/2009/03/21/10-tasty-radish-recipes/
Pears or apples
Green Gage Plums are at the farm stand!!!!!! Holy cow, these are amazing and only here for a short time.
Peaches are ending, so I only have a few quarts to offer at the stand. A few nectarines, too.
Enjoy!
