Farmer notes:
- No Flex shares this week
- our farm is always open to members for a visit/tour – just let us know when you would like to stop by!
- we received .3″ of rain yesterday which was awesome (in the past 2 months we have gotten 1.5″ – a far cry from the 1″ per week as optimal for vegetable growing. Our area remains in severe drought)
- shelling peas you eat the pea only and not the shell
- cucumbers are just beginning to roll – eggplant and some peppers should be in box #6
- radishes and scallions are great in a slaw or a salad, or just as a side to any meal
- kohlrabi are great peeled and chopped into matchsticks – a crunchy summer snack
- always wash your produce and remember to return our boxes/ice packs each week
