Today's Delivery - July 18, 2008





Hi folks,

Karen and I finished picking and prepping your shares. Hurray! There are raspberries and red currants for everybody. Also the first of the summer squashes - Yellow Crookneck, Romanesco Zucchini, Magda Cousa, and Rampacante. The Rampacante (sort of trombone shaped) is new to me so let me know what you think.

I still remember the raspberry patch when it produced 12 quarts a day for weeks at a time. It got pretty darn weedy for a while there but I have been reclaiming it and it's starting to bear fruit. The pints you are getting in your order today are just a taste of what will be coming in future years.

Along with your Rapa turnip greens and Siberian Dwarf Kale, there is also 1 Watermelon radish. Eat the radish as spicy treat and add the tops to your Red Milian turnip tops.

Enjoy the snow peas, they may be the end for this year as the vines don't last in the heat.

Today's bouquets are short and sweet, full of sweet peas, echinacea, bee balm and more. Karen makes beautiful bouquets.

Just a small amount of mesclun today. I will be planting soon. In the meantime, enjoy everything else.

Oh yes, there are 2 inch long beans on the Northeaster pole bean plants...
