Week 14

We often talk about the fields at Shincke Road where you pick up your box and our fields on South Bay Road but we do have one more spot in cultivation.  It is two small fields off of 46th Avenue.  One had our garlic in it and the other has a small amount of drought resisitant ornamental corn and some winter squash (which we some how managed to plant everywhere this year).  After the stand closed on Saturday we went to take a look.  I was not that hopeful because I hadn't been over since it was last weeded and at that time the plants looked so-so.  We were greeted by some giant blue hubbards and pumpkins at the front of the field.  Yippee.  We walked around pointing out all the fabulous squash to each other.  It was a fine time.  I hope you all had some nice surprises this week as well.

Your box is typical of boxes this time of year.  It has some summer stuff and some fall stuff.

Carrots
Cauliflower
Summer Turnips 
Cherry Tomatoes
Poblano Peppers - I love fried chile rellenos but they are also great with out any breading.  I stuff the roasted and cleaned chiles with a bit of filling, set them in a casserole dish, cover with sauce and bake them.
