THIS IS A WEEK “B” for bi-weekly members
Welcome to CSA Week #6! Our summer time vining crops are coming in robust – so anticipate fairly a big harvest of cucumbers, squash and zucchini coming within the shares over the approaching weeks. These crops develop a number of inches a DAY and we will not flip them “off” to present us per week’s break, so put together now!
That is the lifetime of consuming with the seasons. We relish the brand new harvests, eat a LOT of issues whereas they’re in season, after which miss them once they’re gone. Tomatoes and corn might be prepared to reap within the subsequent 10-14 days, so prepare for them!
Summer season Broccoli is tremendous arduous to develop, however we succeeded! It’s lighter in colour than fall or spring broccoli and the within of the stem could also be a bit white or barely browned from the warmth. However, it’s broccoli within the summertime and we’re excited to develop it for you!
Beets actually hate this warmth, so the inexperienced tops have been chopped to maintain them brisker.
NOTES ON STORAGE & USE
All of the greens and roots might be saved in an hermetic bag. The zucchini/squash/cucumber/cabbage is okay within the produce drawer of your fridge.
WILTED GREENS?
It occurs on this warmth when the greens get dehydrated. To not fear! Fill a really massive bowl with chilly water. Dunk the greens into the water and allow them to float round in there till they “perk up”. It may take as much as quarter-hour of being submerged. That is okay and good for the greens! Shake off extra water and retailer in an hermetic container within the fridge.
