Hard to believe summer is virtually half over. Rains have greened up the desert and draped an unfamiliar blanket of humdity over everything. And our veggies love getting the moisture.
This week's haul:
1 lb of carrots
1 bunch of rainbow beets (still beautiful and welcome)
1 bunch kale (traded for squash)
1 bunch swiss chard (traded for squash)
1 zucchini
1 Mexican gray squash
1 yellow crook neck squash
1 yellow and green patti pan squash
4 sweet yellow onions
1 red onion & 1 ear sweet corn (from the surplus bin)
We are eating out more this couple of weeks due to nephew's visit, but will certainly enjoy the squash, add the beets to the pickle jar and maybe make a carmelized onion pizza. Yummy.
Our farm is recruiting for the fall season so we'll sign up directly with them and pick up closer to home on Sundays beginning in Sept. We'll do a second share as well at the original location but with the other farmer to widen our variety, increase the volume and be able to reduce what we purchase from the grocery store. Fall will be a bountiful season, especially if these lovely rains continue.
