Summer Sizzles On

Rolling into September, we're still enjoying summer weather and summer crops all week. We've squeezed in the last plantings of fall crops over the past few weeks--lettuce, radishes, arugula, bok choy. While we wait for those to grow big enough to harvest, we'll keep busy pulling in fat red tomatoes, spicy hot peppers, juicy melons, hefty zucchinis and cucumbers, and candy-sweet husk cherries to stretch out summer as long as we can.

Don't forget--Farm Fresh Yoga is back next week on Tuesday at 5:30 at the Yellow House. Bring your mat and enjoy Maureen St. Croix's excellent class while the sun sets.

In your share this week: tomatoes, green peppers, the last of the eggplant (probably), hot peppers, squash, cucumbers, another melon--watermelon or cantaloupe, husk cherries, PYO cherry tomatoes, flowers, and tomatillos. We're not there yet, but the day is coming when the last zucchini of 2015 will be harvested. Don't lose your chance to make  fresh, local Blueberry Zucchini Cake with Lemon Buttercream frosting. You might regret it all winter.
