Week 10

Things are humming along.  Last week the onions started to fall, the eggplant began to pick, the melons were in need of sampling and some clean up took place in the pea field.  Feeling a momentary sense of control.  Boxes seem fun this week.  I think the food is always tasty, but sometimes imaging it in the box makes me extra happy - I like a good mix of colors.

Enjoy the rainbow.

Carrots
Cauliflower
Green/Wax Beans
Sun Jewel Korean Style Melon - If you have done the CSA before then you have had this melon.  It has kicked off melon season every year since the beginning when it was one of only two melons we grew.  This year we have at least a dozen different varieties.  We are experiencing a little mole issue in the melon field, but there should still be plenty in future boxes.
Purple Potatoes - The purple potato we grew last year was great tasting, but the yield was horrible so we are trying a different variety this year.  It was developed by Dr. Lim in Korea.  On his website he says that it can fight obesity, chronic constipation and hyperlipidemia.  He developed it as a fresh(as in raw) eating potato.  Wild, right?  I have never heard of such a thing.
Slicing Tomatoes
Kohlrabi - If the Kohlrabi isn't quite ready there will be an herb choice instead.
Eggplant - Large Only
