Week 12 - First week of September


Hi everyone,
So I'm feeling pretty soggy- how about you? We've gotten drenched the last few days, which hasn't been good timing for the veggies. Many of the crops are winding down now, and dry weather helps keep them from going bad in the field. But so far things are alright. I just hope this doesn't become a trend for September. We need a beautiful Indian Summer! Maybe if we all collectively hope for good weather, it will make an impact. You never know... :>)

So due to the rain on Wednesday, we had to alter the shares slightly from Tuesday to Thursday.

"ailsa craig" onion
But here's what's in your bags:
Summer Squash- this is probably the last of it, or close to it
Cucumbers
"Ailsa Craig" onion
Hot Peppers (Chilipeno & Hungarian Hotwax for the small shares, 1 poblano and 2 chilipenos for the large shares)
"Augusta" potatoes
Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes
Edamame (aka Soy beans)- the easiest way to cook them is 1) rinse the pods 2) toss them in boiling water for a little less than 10 minutes, when the pods start to break open 3) shell, salt to taste, and serve! (you may want to reheat the beans after shelling them, in case they got cold)
-I'm new to Edamame, so if you have a prefered way of eating them, let me know!

Tuesday: Salad mix & Arugula
Thursday: Beet Greens (big bag)


edamame

I'll try to add some recipes to this later.
Hope you're all doing well and adjusting to your fall schedules!
