Hope everyone has
been doing some bicep curls this week! As these CSA boxes get heavier and
heavier, you are going to need some well developed muscles to lug them around.
Each box is full of wonderful goodies!
Harvest time is one of my favorite (and definitely the busiest) times of year! Every day we are faced with a virtual cornucopia (I love that word) of treasures from our gardens. No longer do we go out with a simple pail or bowl to collect natures' creations.. Now we bring wheelbarrows full of goodies on each walkabout!
This time of year so
full of nature's gifts always makes me so grateful for the full, rich life we
live. Hearing about the horrible experiences and living conditions elsewhere in
the world, I am struck by a significant sense of good luck that I was born in
this part of the world. As we wheel our
carts of food out of the garden, I know that there are so many others that have
much less. I have no wise and sage words to fix what ails the planet but
suggest a good start might be to give freely of our gifts and always be kind!
So what does your
cornucopia of goodness include this week?
Kale
Peppers (assorted
sweet and hot)Potatoes
Cucumbers
Carrots
Zucchini
Swiss Chard
Herbs (Basil, Parsley, Chives, Oregano)
Cauliflower
Ground cherries
Spring onions
Squash (assorted )
Tomatoes (a rainbow of varieties)
We have soaked the
cauliflower overnight to ensure you have no "stowaways"
a.k.a. caterpillars.
