Week 7

Week 7

Hey CSA ers,
We hope that all of you are having a great week! We have been working very hard- weeding, planting, mulching and more weeding.

This week you will find in your share:

Tomatoes- you will have a mix of these

Cherokee Purple- these are the ones to cut right away and eat; they are the taste of summer (remember these are a heirloom tomato that has a kind of purple color to it- they are not off)
Don Flamm- an orange one
Amish Paste- pointed at the bottom great is sauce
Prudence Purple- also will have a purplish color; fantastic slicer
Cherry- pop in mouth and eat

New Potatoes- we left a little more dirt on this week because it will make them last longer. We thought you might still have some from last week. Remember these are not cured so they will not store long (a couple of weeks). Take them out of the plastic and eat soon.

Cucumber - we have many flowers and babies; more too come

Squash or Cabbage

Garlic- fresh (uncured) store in fridge

Basil – Genovese and Thai
