In your share:
- Zucchini
- Carrots
- Boc Choi
- Garlic, fresh - at least one "nice" one and some "ugly" ones that we culled out from our big garlic dig this week, damaged but still delicious!
- Cilantro
- Chamomile
- Salad Mix
- Spinach
- Chinese Cabbage - watch out for earwigs! Carol spent a LOT of time cleaning these up, but there are layers of leaves and hiding places for dirt, wood chips, and earwigs. Beware and be careful.
I'm so happy to say that half our garlic is up and hanging in the shed to cure. We will get the other half done next Wednesday. Garlic is a BIG, time-consuming project. Plant in the fall. Weed a few times (mostly just Shain going down the rows with the tiller), digging it all up, bunching and hanging til it's dry, and then clean it all up for our CSA shares and to sell. As we dig, we find bulbs that are "ugly" or some get stabbed with the shovel. We clean up some of these bulbs too and put in them in the shares because who doesn't like extra garlic?
It was a fun challenge putting the shares together this week. You know there's a lot of food when we have to get out the twisty-ties to hold some bags closed. And it appears as though we are officially at that point in the season where I walk around the farm and say to myself "I have no idea how we are going to harvest all of this!" And somehow we do. Every week. But if you ever have some free time on your hands, we'd love a little extra help!
New foods that will be in your shares soon: Swiss chard, cucumbers, snap peas, and golden beets!
Have a great week and ENJOY your veggies!
