<\/a><\/div>\nGREEN BEANS F\/P We should have these for several weeks now. We have another planting about to start and the first one still going.<\/p>\n
TOMATOES F\/P It is getting harder to find fruit free of blemishes with all these damp, cool weather but the flip side is you aren’t eating fungicides!<\/p>\n
CARROTS F\/P Sweet and crisp roots from cold storage. <\/p>\n
EGGPLANT F <\/p>\n
SWEET PEPPER F\/P Another one for all. They are ripening slowly in these cool temps.<\/p>\n
RED ONIONS F\/P These are an assortment of Rossa di Milano (big shouldered), Tropea (torpedo) and Cabernet (round and wine-colored).<\/p>\n
SALSA PACK F <\/p>\n
CUCUMBERS F We will have a break in cucumbers for a while now that the pickling cucumbers are dwindling.<\/p>\n
SUMMER SQUASH F Mostly Zephyr, our yellow and green nutty squash.<\/p>\n
CHERRY TOMATOES P <\/p>\n
NEXT WEEK: More tomatoes, beans, squash, eggplant and peppers. Potatoes and garlic return.<\/p>\n
FARM REPORT:
The first week of the bean harvest went well with well over 200 lbs. picked. Together the farm crew and the CSA members got the patch picked and bagged for the shares in good time. Bean picking is pretty repetitive as you methodically frisk each plant and pull off its fruit, but every once in a while your focus comes across something else entirely, like this tree frog. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThese little guys are all over the fields at the moment. They are about the size of your thumb but exhibit human-like agility when they climb up the foliage. Watching them reminds me of how closely related, how much DNA we share with our fellow creatures on this planet. Frogs are sensitive to chemicals in the environment due to their porous skin and you just don’t see them in places that are sprayed for weeds and bugs. When did we decide that it was better to not have mosquitos and dandelions than to have these beautiful creatures? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
