Here we strive to share some of the happenings at our fledgling homestead in Candler, NC -- just twenty minutes west of the beautiful mountain foothills gem known as Asheville!

Share #6 -- fruits starting to come ;)
Nothing new in this week's share that you wouldn't recognize -- although we did grow what are probably the nicest broccoli heads ever. At least, for us... growing good broccoli has been a long time coming!
Peaches are from our trees, no pesticides... so just slice it up before serving, in case there are any spots to cut out. :)
Tomatoes are just starting to come in, and one of your specimens might need further ripening. No worry, they already have more sugar than most picked-when-green store bought tomatoes, they just need to soften. Just place in a paper bag with bananas (best) or old apples (better) to accelerate their coloration and softening!
Mexican sour gehrkins (tiny cucumbers that Doro thinks are cute, but I kinda do not) are also in the tomato containers in each basket. Just eat like little cucumber bites.
Lots of kale right now, extra-curly... I dare you to dip in batter, and deep fry ;)
See you in two Saturdays (on the 25th)
