Potatoes, cabbage and onions, Oh-boy!

Gravel Knolls Farm

THANKS FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL HELP LAST SATURDAY, THE HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR!   I would be happy to repeat that any Saturday from 9am to noon if you would like to spend some spare time in the dirt with the weeds on the farm.

ABOUT YOUR SHARE,
A friend and CSA member shared a wonderful recipe with my family a few years ago when we grew cabbage twice as big as my head, because we had an inch of rain every week (except for 3)-

  thick, cooked noodles, cabbage slowly sauted in butter with coarse chopped onions. Mix together and add some salt and pepper.   Turns out quite tasty.

Check out recipes on line for making Panzinella salads. There is some lovely basil in the herb garden planted with that intention in mind. Can't help you with the cucumber though, I've decided they have been too over run with weeds and lacked water for too long to do anything but till them up and wait for our next planting to produce.

Bring some scissors or pruners and help yourself to cilantro in the first box in front of the hoop house in the herb section. And when you are down there walk to the back corner by the pasture where we have zinnias planted and staked and cut a few for your table. This will help with getting them to branch and produce more later.

I should be at the pick up between 3:30 - 7 tomorrow and Thursday, to answer any questions you may have about this extreme season and its effects on the harvest. See you then.

Thank you for all your kind words, concerns, and support for our family this past month.

Grateful,
Linda
