Peppers, Eggplant, and Lebanese Cucumber
Hi everyone,
It’s hard to believe we’re already a third of the way through the season—which means we still have two whole thirds left to savor! The shares are full of summer favorites as the shift from leaves to fruits (botanically speaking) is happening. Nichols reports that the field tomatoes are full of fruit and flower, melons are close, and the first sweet corn is in this week’s shares! The rain we had recently was a huge help for them, but it didn’t come without cost. Nichols received 70 mph winds along with the 3″ of rain leaving them with a bit of damage. Fortunately, nothing that can’t be repaired but every distraction from harvest at this point in the season is not what you like to see. If you happen to see Nichols at a farmers market, make sure to let them now how much we appreciate the work they do!
Quick reminder that our summer break is coming up so that means there will be an extra week between this share and the next. This groups next share will be August 13th.
We hope you love this week’s haul!
