What’s in the Box?
As the photo above may hint, it's watermelon season baby! I have high hopes that the cateloupe will wait another week or so to ripen, but you may see a slightly panicked email from me early next week adding those on.
The first slicing tomatoes are also ready, along with a handful of eggplants. Perfect timing: we are swimming in basil, you should be too!
There are spidermites in the cucumbers so we may have to pull them out later this week. I predict a small gap between those finishing up and the next round starting. Enjoy them this week!
We are sorry that the potatoes this week were SO DIRTY. It just wouldn't stop raining in Kincardine where they hail from. I'm afraid they'll be dirty for another week or so, then hopefully that won't be the case. We seriously considered washing them, but the skin is so tender it all would have come off and that would have messed with storage. Sometimes you just have to pick the best imperfect option.
On the Farm
Did you know that we are more then halfway through the summer share? Thank you all for joining us! I can hardly believe we are here already.
I think we've grown some pretty spectacular food to date, and the fall plantings look awesome. And by "we", I mean the collective "we". Brian and I, have an absolutely incredible crew of farmers for whom we are SO GRATEFUL. They make our farm, and I think our food, pretty magical.
That's all for now, happy eating until next time.
Farmer Tamara
