We have SO many tomatoes in the store right now we are out of room. Not to mention what is still in the garden. So…. If your looking for something fun to do this weekend I really recommend you try bottling some tomatoes or making tomato sauce or even just eat them for dinner. You know, slice em, dust with a little salt and pepper and sprinkle with layer of mozzarella cheese add a few ribbons of basil, Mmmm!

We have baskets for you still and they have:

Armenian cucumber

Slicing cucumber

Baby potatoes

Green beans

Tomatoes (of course)

Peaches

Cherry tomatoes

Peppers

Now for the experiment part. We have the extras box out, and you get to pick out 2 things to finish off your basket. We didn’t have enough of one thing to make it fair so we are going to let you decide what is fair to you.

There is…..

tomatoes

Eggplant

Squash

Onions

Peppers

Tomatillo

Oh! Those thunderstorms that have come in have been incredible to watch! I feel a little guilty ( just because he has to get up early for work) but I made my husband go for a walk with me at midnight the first night it rained just so I could enjoy it a little longer. And last nights storm I put off doing my animal chores when I usually do them just so I could be out there watching the lighting spiderweb across the sky.

But back to the real reason you came to the blog today. Your shares! Man oh man they are pretty today. And my son says the food is delicious ( he may or may not be ready for lunch right now).

Squash

Cucumbers

Beans

Beets

Eggplants

We hope you all are staying cool during the heatwave and we look forward to seeing you today

Hot hot baby! This heat wave, my goodness is it intense. I was hoping that June would be the monsoon month. With lots of summer thunderstorms and some much needed rain. Oh well, we will cross our fingers and pray that July will be the month of rain. The garden sure needs it.

So with shares today, it is a lovely basket with some repeats, staple items, and some new.

Apricots are very tender so please handle with care. Unless your making apricot ice cream than pound those suckers to a pulp!

Shishito peppers are really good roasted and added to a dish (or just eaten as is) they have a very nice flavor.

Shishito peppers

Zucchini

Purple potatoes ( make purple mashed potatoes!)

Carrots

Apricot

arugula

Onion

Lots of goodies this week. And a few new items like the loquat. It has 2 seeds a little bigger than a cherry pit and it tastes like a soft plum and a apricot had a baby with the skin of a tomato……ok….ya. Reading back back through that makes it sound pretty gross. It’s really not though, I promise! it’s just, an interesting….everything? Texture, flavor, look? How about this. Try and then tell me how you would describe it.

So for this week we have:

Cabbage

Carrots

Tomato

Purple potatoes

Loquat

Apricots

Cherries

Peppers (either hot or sweet)

It’s the first day day of summer shares and the first day (of almost summer) to reach 100*! Let’s pray that we get some rain soon to help with the drought.

I have a love hate relation with southern Utah. ( I am a native born and breed here too) There are days I am so grateful to live in this beautiful area. With our unique landscape, adventure opportunities, and where we can grow so many things a lot sooner than a lot of other areas can…… But on the other hand we have some pretty extreme wind and heat and pests to contend with! Oh well, appreciate the good, deal with the bad, take everything one day at a time and life will go on.

For your baskets this week we are splurging a little, with some first if the season items and a couple repeats.

We hope you have enjoyed your baskets so far, we only have one basket left in the spring season, before we make the heavy transition to summer garden.

Chard

Lettuce

Herb bag; dill, rosemary, cilantro

Lemon

Hakurei salad turnip

Strawberries

That little 1/2 inch of rain we got at the beginning of the week sure was nice. I just wish it was about 3 times that amount!

On the garlic scapes if your not sure what to do with them here is some ideas…..
