Hey there, farm friends!
Thanks for accommodating the changes to market pick-ups last week. While I love providing as much variety as possible, I hope it wasn't too much of a pain! We'll have to do it again with any blueberry orders, so do let me know if you want your box delivered to your home/work this week (after 230pm within city limits) or picked up at Mint & Lime Tues or Wed.
NEW CROPS THIS WEEK:
This week, we have some of the hot crops coming on. We have a small amount of Hungarian hot wax peppers that are ready. For the hot pepper lovers, these are a medium variety of Capsicum annum with a wide Scoville scale range of 1,000 to 15,000 Scoville units.
We also have cucumbers ready! These are a variety called Corinto, which does well in both cool and hot climates. Few seeds in the middle, that are also small, and the skin is sturdy like a field cucumber but thin enough to eat.
We also have everyone's favourite vegetable....fennel!! ok, not really :P But I hope you are adventurous and try fennel, if you haven't already. It's one of those vegetables that tastes amazing when paired with the right flavours. One that goes VERY well with fennel is Parmesan!! Here is one of my fave recipes.I am doing mini fennel this year instead of the super huge ones, in case folks just want to try it out.
SOON: Tomatoes are starting to ripen and hopefully we can get some of those to you in the next couple weeks.
Thanks so much, everyone! See you soon,
- Brianna and the Puddle P team
