What’s at Market? Week of August 2nd
August 3rd, 2009 Posted in What's @ Market ?It is truly August. And we just survived one of the hottest weeks I can remember. Needless to say we’ll be out of lettuce for a couple of weeks. It all bolted in the 109 degree weather. Today which was 95 felt luke warm comparitively.
We have a few new veggies showing up at market this week- Bell Peppers and Japanese Eggplant. Grill time!
And I have to add a note about our rooted basil… The first several successions we haven’t been pleased with. It was a cold spring and the cucumber beetles kept anhilating the leaves….. So if you’ve bought some of our basil thus far and have enjoyed it, please make sure to come tomorrow and check out this newest succession. This is what basil is supposed to be. It really is gorgeous.It’ll knock your pesto socks off….
