It feels like Summer arrived with a bang this weekend. Sunshine, heat and glorious starry skies. Mmmm, yes! It's on.
The garden is rocking... so much to do!! We have been pruning and trellising maters in the early morning hours before the heat arrives. They're flowering like crazy and starting to set a lot of fruit. And we are seeding, transplanting and trying to figure out where to sneak in herbs and the many flowers we started! Hmm, I'm feeling a little bit behind... but when am I not?!
A few more melons and a bed of dry beans went in the ground yesterday... and we're thinking about seeding the next succession of greens over the weekend. Oh yes!
Keep an eye out for sassy garlic scapes this week! They're grrrreat for making pesto. And a friend shared her clever way to use radishes... try grilling them and serve with a mint vinaigrette. I would love to hear how you're using the produce, and if you have a favorite recipe please share.
CSA Harvest Week #3 should look like this:
Salad Greens
Head Lettuce
Bok Choy
Braising Mix
Kale, Chard or Mustard Greens
Garlic Scapes
Herbs (Mint, Lemon Balm or...)
Radishes or Turnips
Sourdough Flavor of the Week: Plain
Yay! Hope everyone has a beautiful day! I better get harvesting...
