Being off the Web for ten days really put a kink in things! Sorry for no newsletter last week! I'm still a wee bit miffed it took our service provider ten days to fix their equipment> bygones.....
Anyhoo, down on the farm there is really starting to be too much rain and not enough sun. Things are developing slowly and some things, like summer squashes, are showing signs of rot in the fruit! Peppers and tomatoes are not setting fruit very quickly and what fruit has set seems to just sit in limbo. Admittedly, lettuces are doing well in the cool and moist conditions.
Because we were off line last week there was no newsletter, so our growing partners Amanda and Ed did not get 'props' for growing those lovely cabbage. They've provided again this week, cabbage for everybody! Love Amanda's 'recipe' for growing gorgeous cabbage without chemicals: she dusts them with a mix of flour, cayenne pepper and chili pepper seeds to ward off those nasty cabbage moths! We were hearing some great things that people were doing with cabbage last week including a wide variety of coleslaw recipes and a cabbage roll casserole or lasagna using cabbage leaves instead of pasta.
Included in your box this week is an order form for a great little product we ran across at Global Market. Marketed locally, these mixes are dairy and gluten free and easy-peasy! If you're interested we will give it two weeks and then put in a group order. Email if you have any questions!
