Week 13 CSA Pick-up

What you'll find in your basket this week...

  • Potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Onions
  • Beets
  • Peppers
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Beans
  • Cucumbers
  • Zucchini
  • Edemame
Extras this week...
  • Purple Cabbage
  • Tomatoes
We were gone for the weekend, but could tell what kind of weather we had since the gardens looked hot, dry, and wind blown.  The cucumber and bean production is slowing down.  What's left of the beets are pretty huge.  The tomatoes are starting to pick up in their ripening.  The peppers look great...so many many peppers on them.  The edemame are now ready to start picking.  Most of the potato plants are starting to dry.  Seems like a lot of the gardening is winding down, while the tomatoes are just getting started.

We'll be picking soup beans this week.  We let them finish drying in the house in pods and then shell them in November/December while we watch the Sunday night football game.  The kids love to help with this.  These will be the soup beans you'll get in your CSA boxes next summer.

The edemame are a soybean.  You'll find tips on how to cook them in From Asparagus to Zucchini under bean.
