As noted in the previous post, Chase is home from doggy college. He is settling in fine; right now, both dogs insisted that I come out and sit on the deck while they do....dog stuff. That mostly consists of staring at the other dog on his deck a few yard over and trying (unsuccessfully) to catch robins. We don't quite trust Chase to stay in the yard, so we stay out with him. He should get it figured out by winter, I hope!
Bill was out checking the crops yesterday and brought home some eggplant! It maturing much quicker and will be ready by
the weekend. You will also notice in the picture are onions and garlic! Garlic is a new crop for us and we can't wait to start harvesting it. The is absolutely no comparison between store bought garlic and fresh garlic. Garlic, like onions, will loose their flavors if refrigerated. We should be pulling the cloves before too long and then it will be a few weeks while the garlic cures.The sweet corn is looking good; better than we thought at one time, but we are still holding to our timetable of the 3rd Saturday in July for the first harvest. Although, with more sunny days and hot weather, Mother Nature could really help us out! Keep checking for sweet corn updates!
What will we have for this week?
- Arugula
- Collard greens
- Mustard greens
- Leaf lettuce
- Zucchini (new recipe at the market!)
- Summer squash
- Radishes
- Sugar snap peas-good raw or in a salad
