Okay, I thought the white things that looks like carrots were really white carrots. But they aren't. It is a good thing Andy lets us know in the newsletter that they are actually Diakon radishes.
I know kale when I see it. I am planning on making some kale chips tomorrow.
Thinking about having a radish sandwich also. How about you?
The first box of the Fall Share is always a treat. I love all the really earthy fall vegetables. I see us eating lots of good soups this fall when the weather gets cooler.
We should be doing pretty good as far as the vegetables go...tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, squash and beans are still producing and will for awhile as long as the front doesn't get them. The light frost that came last week got the last of the cantaloupes. Frost always seems to get the cantaloupes first. But cold weather crops like kale, lettuce, chard, spicy greens, radishes, turnips, broccoli and cabbage don't seem to mind the frost and can produce a little longer. And with the nice rain that the farm got, Andy is hoping to have a good harvest of potatoes, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic and winter squashes.
Since there are some new families joining the CSA for the Fall Share Andy will be sending a Baked and Canned Goods List in our boxes next week. Be sure to get the newsletter from the inside side of you box in the see through sleeve.
Be sure to bring back you empty boxes, egg cartons and green berry baskets when picking up you filled box each week. It is best if you can breakdown the box for easy transport back to the farm.
Happy Fall.
