on Jun 20 in CSA News, Farm News by JosiePerhaps summer is finally here!!! The hot crops like our favorite tomatoes and peppers will love it but the peas will not. Peas, how we all love peas. This year Clay planted so many peas. That is great for you and bad or our farm crew. You will see snap peas, snow peas and shelling peas in your pick ups for the next few weeks. Remember snap peas and snow peas you can eat the whole pea but shelling peas you can only eat the little pea inside the pod. Shelling peas are a bit of work but oh so worth it.
in you pick up this week you will have these funny little things called garlic scapes. They are the flowering necks of the garlic and a real treat. Their texture is like a green bean with a light garlic flavor. I love t just saute them up and add to pasta. Here are some other ideas; Chop them up into one inch pieces and saute witha little olive oil until soft then add them and your favorite hard shredded cheese to some pasta with a little salt and pepper. They are also wonderful in eggs or on a pizza or in a stir fry. There are so many fun recipes on the Internet for these strange little treats. Have fun!
Flower and wine shares begin the week of July 11th. If you have a flower or wine share look for them starting that week. Fruit share should start around the same time, the apricots are ripening up. It is not too late to sign up for a fruit share or a wine or flower share just click here for the fruit share or click herefor the wine and fruit. You will be sorry if you don’t.
Remember that we will not have a CSA pick up the week of July 4th. In the past we have so many people not pick up their share that week that we have decided to give us that week to catch up on weeding. We will resume pick ups the week after. Please mark that on your calendar.
We hope you are enjoying the spring bounty and you are having fun with boc choy. This is the time to eat your green. Thanks so much for choosing us to grow your food.
