magidThis week there was copious bounty, both a box and a bag of stuff:
2 small yellow watermelons
a medium cantaloupe
3 delicata squash
a large eggplant
6 medium potatoes
6 medium carrots
8 tomatoes (4 of them yellow)
a bunch of swiss chard
a medium bunch of cute small-medium beets with greens
a medium bunch of red radishes with greens
a medium bunch of mid-size white turnips with greens
When I got there, there were buckets and buckets of heirloom tomatoes: apparently they had so many that would rot that they'd brought a lot in, and I could take as many as I wanted. Also, someone had taken only some of the things in per's share, so the farmer offered whatever I wanted of the rest. I took a bunch of beets (given to someone at the Diesel who apparently has an LJ, but I don't know who) and a bunch of turnips (given to ZZBottom, mashed neeps lover). I took another 5 tomatoes for me, then distributed the rest between ZZBottom, Hrafn, and Cthulhia. Lady Veggie Bountiful. Definitely got more than my $'s worth this week....
I asked about how to bring in stuff to be composted, which they'd asked for in last week's newsletter. The farmer was there, and told me that he was hoping to get some kind of compostable plastic bags for this for next year: just fill and toss on the compost pile. I didn't know that existed
