Farm Share 8/11/09

Someone asked about my farm share the other day, and I haven't posted anything about it for a while. This is what we got in our box from Kretschmann this week:

• A bunch of beets
• One onion (I cut off the top because it was in bad condition, but apparently there's stuff you can do with it if it's not)
• Two green peppers
• Four tomatoes (of moderate quality) - apparently there's a "late blight" causing farmers in the region to lose a bunch of tomatoes this year ... Bummer. So much for my insalata caprese dreams. I still have hope for my plants, though a friend four blocks away just lost his tomato patch.
• Lettuce - this week we got two bunches of something like romaine.
• Chard
• One tiny watermelon
• Green beans
• A bunch of curly parsley
• Carrots
• Two cucumbers
