It's week six and we are half way through our CSA season! The garden is generally liking this weather and we generally have a hard time keeping up with the harvest!
In particular, right now we have a lot of scallop squash... which are often called pattypan squash! I call them sunshine squash because that's what they remind me of. This is the first year we have had such a big harvest so I'm experimenting with a few different uses and recipes myself.
I found this link to some very simple recipes designed for kids that I'm working my way through! Who else has some clever uses and yummy recipes out there?
The tomato harvest continues so I'll be pulling together some salsa recipes for next week...
So in summary... What's in the Box this week?
- Rhubarb
- Lettuce (mixed greens in bag)
- Zucchini
- Scallop (pattypan) squash
- Carrots
- Peas
- Tomatoes
- New potatoes
- Turnips
- Broccoli and/or Cauliflower (for full shares only)
- Peas (for half shares only)
- Beans
- Cucumbers (for half shares)
- Peppers (spicy)
- Beets
- Herbs in the red cup:
- Oregano
- Chives
- Parsley
- Cilantro
- Basil (in a ziploc bag)
Notes to our CSA Share holders:
We pick the vegetables within 24 hours of the box being delivered. We do rinse the produce but it would be important to wash all vegetables before you eat them. Keeping the herbs (ends) in a cup of clean water will keep them fresh longer.
Please return your empty box along with all re-usable containers (pails, cups, bags etc) so that we can reuse them all over again.
