The ground has been a bit dusty, that's just fine for digging up potatoes. Most of the tops have died (or I mowed them) and we need to get them out of the ground and into the cooler. Rob shows his prowess at lifting two tater buckets. (psst. there's only 1 potato in each...) But, to be fair, by this point we had been hand digging potatoes with a spading fork for quite a while.
The bed just in front of him has lettuce seedlings and lines of drip irrigation.
I dig taters and I dig the tunes. (WMPG!)
Also in the Solanaceae family, but much more charismatic. Here is the collection of tomatoes we harvested.
Inside the hoophouse, the vines are going crazy! I won't show you the ones outside, they look nasty and near dead now. Sungolds on the left are reaching for the peak, and thinking about coming down the other side. They are still very productive, so they can stick around for another week or two. But sometime soon there are vines which will need to be cut to make way for winter salad greens.
Whatcha Eatin?
Well, we're eating kale chips, and steamed beets with cheddar.
see 7/3/12 and 7/8/12 for those recipes. Also, the boxes have items for last week's recipe for crispy kale salad.
Contemplating an asian vegetable soup with some of that Thai Basil, or maybe a miso soup. Next week we should have Bok Choi which is great with miso. Searching for the good recipe now...
