CSA week of Sept. 27

Today was one of those days that feels like it is going fast forward and slow motion simultaneously. There was so much to do, but I was able to savor some wonderful moments as well.

This beautiful box of tomatoes:

 

These gorgeous sunflowers that a friend held up in the sunlight for a better glimpse:

Amazing vistas and signs of fall:

All in a 10 minute visit to a little farm on a rushed day with two sleepy little 'uns in the van waiting somewhat patiently.

This week's share:

• Bagged mizuna/arugula
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Cauliflower
• Collard greens
• Fennel
• Garlic
• Head lettuce
• Herbs: Basil, parsley, korean mint, summer savory
• Kale
• Onions
• Potatoes
• Scallions
• Scarlet runner beans
• String beans: yellow and purple
• Summer squash
• Tomatoes: stupice and cherry (they made me gasp in delight...really)

Last week brought lots of grilled veggies, some wonderful salads, a large pot a minestrone-esque soup and some blanched and frozen items to keep for the winter.

This week we will be heading out to visit family and bringing some of the share to, um, share!
