* Our celery is little but tasty. This is our second attempt at celery, and though we babied it more this year than last, it is still little. It is probably best suited for soups and stews.
** We left the greens on the turnips. They are edible (recipes on our website). But if you're not going to use them soon, we'd suggest cutting the greens off the turnips so the roots store better.
POTATOES: It was too wet to harvest potatoes, but we had a few crates left in the cooler. If you need potatoes for your pot-luck dish on Sunday, go ahead and take some.
CUTTING GARDEN:
The flowers are more and more scarce, so get a small bouquet while you can! There are still lots of herbs, so please cut big bunches!
WHERE WE'RE AT IN THE SEASON: Warm weather crops are slowing down. This is likely the last week you'll be seeing summer squash or cucumbers. We'll still be getting tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers in smaller quantities for at least another week or two. There are three more pick-ups after this one, which will be abundant with cooler weather crops. And it looks like we'll be offering a more informal, week-to-week-pay-as-you-go CSA, beyond week twenty, into November and possibly December. We'll keep you informed.
