CSA + Garden Haul Week 7 (7/05/12)

Summer is here in earnest! No more cool season veggies, but that means the rest is IN. We made a valiant attempt to eat up what we had before today, and we did pretty good. Here's what we have to work with this week.... (photo only shows CSA veggies...).

CSA**:

•  5 gorgeous cucumbers despite Caleb's insistence that they were "seconds" and I could take as many as I'd like (which was 5☺)
• 1 pound small slicing onions
• 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
• 1 bunch kohlrabi--our experiment since I've never tasted or cooked this! Greens and bulbs are edible, so it's a 2-for-1 ☺
• 2 summer squash
• 2 tomatillos
• 1 lovely tomato
• 1 pound green beans
• ** Because of the insane heat recently (breaking records all over the place!) and lack of water, our shares may be a bit on the smallish side for a week or two while the farm tries to catch up. OK by me since I don't think we could eat it all up right now!

Farmer's Market: (also in above picture)

• 1/2 gallon organic milk just for kicks
• 1 pound organic ground beef just for kicks

Garden:

• Basil
• Cherry tomatoes! (50 or so/week right now)
• Squash beginning to form
• Bell peppers have flowered

Friends' Gardens:

• 2 pounds green beans
• 3 tomatoes
• 2 zucchini
• 2 salsa peppers (kind of like jalapenos)
• 1 green bell pepper

Leftovers:

• 1+ pounds summer squash
• 1/2 head Napa cabbage
• few radishes
• green onions
• various crudite (including peppers, broccoli, carrot sticks, celery sticks, etc.) from a recent event
