CSA Update
8/28/2009 10:19pm
Friends,
The bounty continues this week with the first of our Provider green beans. These are green beans that are actually GREEN! Plus, you will get some yellow wax beans in the bag with the Providers. We are so happy that our large heirloom tomatoes are now producing. You will really enjoy these. Also, more potatoes, eggplant, a variety of peppers, cucumbers, other assorted varieties of heirloom tomatoes (Red Zebra, Green Zebra, Cream Sausage, etc.) and our wonderful assortment of cherry tomatoes.
It should not be long before the corn is ready. At least the deer have been enjoying it. Okra is coming along slowly but each week we have a few more. Not enough yet for everyone in the CSA but hopefully within the next week or two. If you really, really like Okra , let us know. If you really, really DON'T like Okra, let us know.
The melons have been very challenged by this cool weather. They are a desert plant and like it hot, but we see progress each week.
The fall planted varieties are doing well. Sugar Snap Peas are a couple inches high and Kale and Collards are doing well. Broccoli, Cabbage and Cauliflower transplants have spent the week being hardened off in preparation to go into the ground next week.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at St. Matthew's tomorrow, and remember, BRING YOUR BAG!!
