CSA share: week 20
This is it, fellow CSA members. This is the last CSA share of the season. I’m going to miss my weekly trips to Bee Heaven Farm to photograph the shares for you. I’m also going to miss getting an armload of incredible food every week. My friends, with whom I share the share, are going to miss it too. So, how will you make do in the off season? Back to Whole Foods? Grow your own?
Try to grow some of our own, but summer crops are different! And many take a long time to produce. Sweet potato and true yam, malanga, okra, eggplant (green Thai!), tomatillos, black beans, winged beans, yard-long beans, jamaican roselle. Last year we grew Seminole Pumpkin, only got four from a plant that seemed like it ran 16 miles around the yard. But I miss sweet fresh lettuce in the summer- that’s when I hit WF. Wish they brought it from the East, preferably the Southeast, rather than all the way from CA.
