This week was another winner – ultra-summery veggies and fruit. From the top, left to right, row by row, starting at the top:
cucumbers, basil, green and purple peppers (we got one of each), blackberries, summer squash, tomatoes, donut peaches, cantaloupes, okra
We actually got melon in both the vegetable and fruit shares! So I have two lovely melons at home. I think the last time we got melon in a veggie share was the first season as Hellgate CSA (so, in 2006), and we’ve never had melon in the fruit share. It’s very exciting.
Donut peaches are amazing! I love them.
Not sure what to do about the okra – maybe make lact-fermented okra? Will explore some recipes.
As I write this, the tomatoes are gone. I used most of them to make lacto-fermented salsa, and ate the other one in a tomato and basil salad.
Will make cucumber soup this week, most likely. Would be good to use some raw yogurt in it.
Love the summer veggies and fruit!
