Things are finally starting to look like Summer in the garden! Took a while this year! The first pick on zucchini today, there are little wee cucumbers and tomatoes! The corn is coming nicely, although a little weedy. And the beans! The beans!
CSA members will get a torrent of beans of all kinds over the next few weeks! The bigger beans, the Romano types like Dragon's Tongue and some of our climbing beans, do very well in veggie packs in tinfoil for the BBQ! The regular beans do okay, the delicate filet will not benefit from that treatment! Vegetables of all kinds are awesome and easy roasted on the BBQ in foil. Here's a great link with basic instructions for BBQ roasted veg. We encourage you all to freeze some packages of beans for winter use! Here's a great link to easy bean freezing without blanching. However, we all want to eat a bunch right now so here's a nice link with eleven fresh bean recipes. Hmm, beans in a bacon vinaigrette?
Probably the last share on raspberries. As the picking gets more sparse it's just not worth our time and we have U-pickers waiting to get a chance! Nice, big container for everyone today! Probably the last of the Grand Rapids lettuce as well today - unless the plants already cut grow back well. That is highly unlikely in hot, dry weather so we will probably bid adieu to Grand Rapids for now! We will seed a variety of lettuces shortly for nice Fall salads.
Amanda and Ed have supplied lovely cabbages again today - probably also the last of the cabbage for you! So many 'last of's today - but that is what fresh, local eating is all about! Everything has it's season, it peaks and then it is done! Amanda and Ed have also supplied a nice assortment of fresh herbs. There is a bit in everyone's basket; we'll be on hand to tell you what it is or how to use it but they have brought dill, summer savory, oregano, spearmint, mojito mint and Italian parsley!
So, for the FULL SHARES: Lg. cabbage, a zucchini, 1/2 lb. shelling peas, onions, 1 lb. Dragon's Tongue beans, 2 lbs. assorted yellow wax, green and purple beans, 2 lbs. Norland red baby potatoes, 1/2 lb. Warba white potatoes, raspberries, radish, Swiss chard, Grand Rapids lettuce, one of the assortment of fresh herbs.
For the PART SHARES: Cabbage, zucchini, snow peas, onions, 1 lb. Dragon Tongues Bean, 1 lb. assorted beans, 2 lbs. Norland red baby potatoes, raspberries, Grand Rapids lettuce, one of the herbs.
For the SINGLE SHARES: Small cabbage, zucchini, onions, 1 lbs. Dragons Tongue Beans, 1/2 lb. Royal Burgundy beans, 2 lbs. Norland red potatoes, raspberries, Grand Rapids lettuce, one of the assortment of herbs.
Enjoy!
