More sun and hot weather are ripening the mid-summer crops like tomatoes and watermelons. You can expect to see them in the shares very soon! Look what I found (image above) hiding out in the field this past weekend!
NOTES ON THE GOLDEN EARTHWORM VEGGIE SHARE
More Cukes and Zukes, as you would expect this time of the season. Green Cabbage is perfect for a refreshing coleslaw or salad. Try the recipe below! Walla Walla Onions are a sweet onion variety with low sulfer and high water content, making them mild and excellent in many dishes. There are some great recipes below. Our Asian Eggplant plants have been weakened by insect damage this year, so we don’t have as many to harvest as we had hoped. We face this dilemna often—Do we send out just 1 per member, or do we just not send them out at all? We hope you agree that at least 1 small one is better than none. We will have the more recognizable black eggplant in the shares in the next few weeks. There are Bell Peppers and Long Green Peppers (great for stir-fries or grilling) in the share for the first time this season. You can expect plenty more over the coming weeks. They freeze well if you can’t eat them all right now. Just wash, remove the seeds, chop into 1″ pieces or strips and freeze in ziplock bags. We pull these out of the freezer to use in recipes all through the winter and spring. The first of the potatoes are here! These New Red Potatoes are fresher than anything you’ve ever tasted! Their skins may be a bit scuffed up because they’re so delicate. No need to peel them – just wash, boil and enjoy in a potato salad! Basil or Chives round out the share. Bon Appetit!
