Greetings from the Garden! This week's CSA box has lettuce and greens, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, onions and garlic, peppers, and cabbage or Brussels sproutsField Notes. Rain - lots of rain. Ken found a window of opportunity and got the garlic planted. He has been harvesting roots and I am burying them in sand in the root cellar for winter boxes.
This week the pigs go to the locker. We always feel sadness and relief - Ken has an extra hour or more each day now.
From the Kitchen. Greens! We have greens each day - some times raw for salad and sometimes wilted with cream or vinegar or a dressing. Ken has been making soup - a potato cabbage soup and a creamed carrot and other vegetable soup. We often have soup in the morning as it is warming and the egg production drops sharply when the days get short.I have been making jam now that we could get some organic lemons. In side by side comparisons we can taste the difference in sugar and lemons - mainstream conventional vs. organic.
