This week we are going to get microgreens going again for shares next week and start some fall crops in the field by cleaning up more so we can hopefully do some more fall seeding for our late season shares and markets. I’ve been planting weekly and going to keep it going all fall for successive harvests of organic greens, roots, and more. Its hard to believe that summer is nearly over as we head into the last month of CSA. We’ve got a nice selection for you all this week so here is this weeks crop list.
Radish Microgreens: You will receive either regular radish or purple radish micro greens. These taste just like a fresh radish and will hold about a week in the fridge but use sooner for best results.
Garlic: Our garlic is dried and can store at room temp now for months, so many uses for garlic i’m sure you can all find some great dishes to use it in!
Cherry Tomatoes: These are still just as juicy and sweet as the first week they started coming in. The plants look healthy but they are also slowing down some at the moment although i expect more flushes coming soon so we shall see how they keep performing. They’ve been keeping us busy lately with over 700 pints picked in the last week so expect lots of these tasty gems. We will give you all as many as we can muster..
Jalapeno pepper: just a little extra spice for your dishes.
Tomato: Our slicing tomatoes have slowed down but we have some for you all
Flat Italian Parsley: Fresh parsley for pasta, salads, dressings and more.
Sweet Pepper: Peppers are here but not many coming in yet. I usually like to wait for these to turn color but some may be half turned they are still just as tasty that way.
Curly Kale: The backbone of our greens crops curly kale is favorite for salads, sautéing, or even baking for kale chips.
Thats all the crops from this mid summer August week folks. Enjoy all the summer fruits, microgreens, and see a lot of you at the dropsites soon. Thank you, be healthy, and enjoy the veggies and the end of summer! -Kyle
