Hello Everyone, We are probably at the height of our tomato production at the moment, so expect large quantities of the fruit this week. I expect to have tomatoes in the shares for at least another 6 weeks. Heirlooms have a short shelf life so judge their ripeness by softness; don’t wait for green shoulder to color up or Aunt Ruby’s to turn red! Gorgeous, sweet and delicious, melons continue to ripen prolifically. There are more cantaloupes now and soon more watermelons. Beans are becoming more abundant and soon we will have the delicious heirloom Rattlesnake beans. Some groups may receive a variety called Dragon Langerie, a wax bean with purple streaking. These are string beans not shell beans, so don’t be fooled. The share for this week will be Tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, summer squash, string beans, Yukon Gold potatoes, peppers, red onions, melon or watermelon, bok choy, savoy cabbage, and choice of Goldenberries or cherry tomatoes. We are in a rotation with eggplant, so if you did not get any last week you will receive some this week or next. The fruit share will be nectarines and peaches this week. Enjoy! Farmer John
