Farm share, week 9

[magid]

So much stuff this week; I'm very glad I moved my car close by, because I was worried about the walk in the heat with the weight.

• two bunches of kale (I got lacinato.)
  
• twelve pickling cucumbers/summer squash (I split it between zukes and cukes.)
  
• a bunch of dill or parsley (I chose dill.)
  
• twenty new potatoes (I got red-skinned ones.)
  
• ten ears of corn
  
• a musk melon (like a cantaloupe, but with sections noticeable on the outside)
  
• ten tomatoes (including a yellow one! and some neat heirloom kind!)
  
• a head of lettuce (I got red leaf.)
  
• two peppers (I got an almost-white bell pepper, and a long pepper that's turning red.)
  
• an onion with greens
  
• a bunch of carrots with greens (I got purple ones!)
  
  
• fruit share: a pint of blueberries
  
• five peaches

And a Boston Oganics delivery: small box, half fruit.

• half a pound of green beans
  
• a head of cauliflower
  
• two zukes (medium)
  
• two cukes (ditto)
  
• two corn
  
• four oranges
  
• four plums
  
• four nectarines
  
• six ounces of blueberries

And a dozen eggs.

And now, I should eat something. Fast :-).

No; eat something, then fast.

Knew I'd get a taker :-)

that's a lot of food!

Yup. The fridge is pretty full; I need to get cooking, but the heat and the fast mean I'm not likely to do anything until late today... I've got tomorrow off, though, and the weather's supposed to be cooler, so it might be a day of cooking.

Yow. They had really cut down on the numbers by the time I got there at 4:30. I only got 10 potatoes, six corn, and five tomatoes. That's kind of annoying.

Opposite direction, actually; I was there around 5:45-6, and the numbers were going up. (I particularly noticed because I got half the veggies, brought them to the car, and came back for the rest, and there'd been a change in the meantime).

I can understand it happening with one or two things, but it does seem excessive.
