rain rain, go away...

So as it turns out, with all the rain means less ripe tomatoes, and more wet-related plant diseases. So the tomatoes are late and not that plentiful, unlike last year when it was hot all the time and all we had were tomatoes. On the flip side, we're headed towards some really good melons, which will be great! Maybe the raspberries will be better too.

My farm also offers a fruit share each year, but this year there was a bunch of hail. I guess tree fruit, like apples, is in short supply, and everyone is raising their prices. So I'm still waiting to see how much the fruit share is...it was wonderful to get a bag of apples each week last summer. And the occassional plum and pear.

Today's take was pretty good:

• 1 head of lettuce
• 1/2 bag of salad mix
• 1 cabbage
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 3 tomatoes
• 3 ears of young corn
• 1 bag of mix n' match, so I chose: lots of green peppers, onions, bunching onions, beets, and a ton of baby pat-a-pan squash...so cute! They steam nicely.
• 1/2 a pint of cherry tomatoes from the field.
• 1 other tomato from the field.
• 1 quart of beans.
• Two bunches of herbs (I cheat and split my bunchs, so I took thyme, parsley, cilantro, and wintermint).

Elena made chicken and veggies last night, and I finally made another big batch of pesto. Tomorrow is meat share day, and I can't wait!
