Fall is almost upon us. That rain storm we had on Tuesday night just put that chill and feel in the air of pumpkins, fall gardens and sweater weathers….. then we have today, where it’s shorts, tees and sandals again.😐 ah well summer can last a few more days I guess.

On to the real reason for today’s blog. BASKETS!!! Oh my lanta! is it a full Basket this week and I really hope you you love a variety of peppers because there is ton today!

Peaches

Pears

Tomato

Carrots

Acorn squash

Onion

Beets

A large variety of peppers both warm and sweet. like jalapeño, wax peppers, Anaheim’s, green bells, and I’m sure so others (but since I already put them in the basket I can’t for the life of me remember what they are with out unloading one or two baskets) it will just have to be a surprise. All of them will be wonderful for roasting though.

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:

Carrots

Tomato

Purple potatoes
