Last share... and, back-to-school / end-of-share potluck this Sunday!

First, an announcement about the planned potluck: based on votes, it looks like we will do the potluck this Sunday, Aug. 13th, starting at 11 AM. I know that a couple of you have already told me you will be out of town... its all good, we'll take whomever we can pull together, and will keep trying to connect with the rest of you as the school year starts! I will send out an e-Vite shortly. Basically bring your kids, bring a dish, bring swimming clothes, and be prepared to have fun at the 'farm' at 20 OMalley Dr.!!! =)

Now, a picture of yesterday's share contents (beautiful shade from the trees outside the Wedge, btw):

...and some comments / tips:

1. Some people got squash/eggplant, and some got mini-cabbages. I wish the cabbages were bigger right now, but they are what they are... these are our biggest ones right now :) Make a slaw... or put some on a sandwich!

2. Tomatoes are from First Step Farm right down the road from us in Candler. But, they are delicious and socially awesome!

3. Sunflower sprouts need to get eaten ASAP, unfortunately I tried rinsing them and was apparently rough with them, so... they might have looked wilted, but I promise I had only harvested them hours ago

4. Jam is from the excess of strawberries we had in June... Dorothea made it, and her jams are a hit here at our house... we both sincerely hope you enjoy it.

5. Basil was looking rough but I got what I could from the plants, please leave stems out of cooking (they were almost uniformly woody) and tear off any brown corners... otherwise its still pretty useful stuff!!!
