NEWS FROM GOLDEN EARTHWORM FARM
Where’s the rain? While some of you may have gotten rain and thunderstorms over the past week, many of the storms dissipate by the time they reach the East End. Our roads are dusty, and we’re doing everything we can to keep up with the irrigation of our crops in the fields. This is a time consuming, but crucial task. So on top of the daily tasks of seeding, planting, cultivating, staking and harvesting, we perform a complex dance of pipe moving and watering rotation to keep all the crops alive. Our efforts are paying off and everything is looking great!
NOTES ON THE GOLDEN EARTHWORM VEGGIE SHARE
Cucumbers are here! There’s nothing better than a crisp cucumber salad to beat the heat. I slice mine up with a little sliced red onion, red wine vinegar, olive oil and salt & pepper. Cippolini Onions grill up so nicely, so try them this week along with some grilled Zucchini. Broccoli in this heat? Yes, try this spicy broccoli salad below. And Garlic! Our beautiful garlic makes its way into the shares this week. We grow a hard neck variety that is known for its excellent flavor! More Beets again (the last for a little while) without the tops this time. And to keep with the grilling theme, I found this great recipe for Grilled Beet Salad and even a great grilled Swiss Chard recipe that sounds amazing!
Stay cool, and bon appetit!
