July 25 & 27 CSA Boxes

Good Morning Members!

I hope that you all had a great weekend and are enjoying the cooler (but still humid) weather.

Thank goodness for the rain yesterday. We already have irrigation out on our newly planted green beans to help them along.

Some crops, like sweet corn, are not under drip irrigation and rely solely on rain for their source of water. These past few showers are bringing us very close to your first sweet corn in your shares :)

Here is what is in your shares this week:

6	peaches
bunch	cilantro

2 pints	blueberries
12	peaches

Peppers and garlic are new in your shares this week.
 
The colored peppers will be either purple or white peppers. They are both similar to a green pepper but with a little spice. They are not hot by any means. They are excellent for cooking or for salads.

The cubanelle peppers are a wonderful stuffing and frying pepper. They are also sweet with a little spice.  I like to stuff them with sausage, onions, and garlic. Throw some rice and cilantro in and you have yourself a great meal. We only have enough to give one (2 for full shares) but we do have some additional cubanelles for sale at our markets. 

I will also be posting some more collards recipes today as well.
