Recipes for the week:
Greetings
Members!
What a forecast of beautiful weather for this week. The only thing missing is a few evening showers so I guess it will be back to the irrigation pumps. We have been waking up to fog here in the valley lately and that will bring a few dew drops to the thirsty plants early in the morning. It can also brings the moisture diseases so we will be actively scouting and on alert. We all know that fall is just around the corner.
We are at week 12 (half-way for 24 week members). For those of you with summer (16 week) shares, don't forget to renew now and sign-up for a fall share. Tell all your friends how you like us. We are now accepting memberships for fall and winter shares. Fall Shares will begin on the week of September 24th. Fall vegetables are usually greens, carrots, beets, cabbage, squashes to include the ending of summer and zucchini and the starting of all the different winter squashes. A hard frost will determine the end of many of the summer crops, but tomatoes and cukes should continue into fall a little longer in the heated greenhouses.
We will have beans and watermelons this week. Beans are several colors green, yellow and a few purple. The purple will turn a nice shade of green when cooked. Steaming seems to hold the purple shade a little bit better than boiling. Kids love the purple magic beans changing colors. Eat them raw or cooked, but enjoy them while they are here.
Thanks!
Enjoy your vegetables.
