Basket #8 -- fun and abundance!

Sorry, I thought this posted earlier, but I just saw that it did not. Tomatoes, and lots of them. Make sure you rinse the tomato leaf dust off the little ones! Also, a few fun new things:

Cabbage -- this is our first year doing these well; please let me know what you end up making out of it, be it slaw, goulash, gowumpki, whatever... it should be sweet

Teenage (as opposed to baby, or full-grown) carrots -- a colorful mixture of three different varieties, colored white, yellow and orange

Staghorn sumac seed sprigs -- soak in 16-32 oz of water for two days, then strain off the resulting yellowish-orange liquid, add sugar to taste and enjoy over ice on a hot day -- it's an old native American recipe for lemonade!

Variety bonus -- we didn't have enough of each, so you got a random one of the following ootions: cucumber, eggplant, pattipan squash, or baby cantaloupe

Hope you're enjoying the bounty, let us know of you have any questions, or if you arrive at any particularly lovely creations with this fresh and local food pallette!

  1. Are the peppers all bell that are green/red? I know the light greens are hungarian wax. Thanks!

  2. The green/reddish ones are an heirloom variety that is similar to bell peppers/ sweet peppers. It's our first time growing them, and I haven't actually tasted them myself! Hope they are good.
