CSA Week ?

[omly]

I have totally lost track of which week we are on. I worked on the farm a bit yesterday despite the heat. It was bittersweet knowing that I would be gone the next month. I had been helping to organize some work events that I will not be able to attend, but someone else has promised to make sure that they still happen.

This weeks pickup included:

• ~lb of basil
  
• cherry tomatoes - sungolds, black cherries and some traditional reds
  
• bunch of carrots
  
• summer squash
  
• romaine lettuce
  
• green leaf lettuce
  
• bell peppers - green and purple
  
• hot peppers - assorted
  
• green beans - snap beans and french beans
  
• radishes

I tried to select stuff that we could store or bring with us easily. I plan on bringing the tomatos, pepper strips and carrot sticks in the car. I canned green beans and chili peppers before we left. And the basil we chopped and froze in icecube trays by pouring water over them. This allows you to pop the resulting cubes in a ziplock bag for convienent basil all year round.
