The last pick up for Tuesdays families! We wish we had so much more to share with you! The weekends' work harvesting the potatoes was extremely disappointing - just like digging the garlic. A row that should have yielded fifty or sixty pounds of French Fingerling produced a couple of buckets of small sizes. Same in the Linzer fingerlings. We just can't figure it out - decent soil, we kept the potato beetle at bay, the rains seemed to come when we needed them. Just not enough heat? Last years' harvest was a disaster, too, and this was all new seed purchased from reliable sources. At least we got a decent dig on the rare and lovely Pink Fir Apple, which all of you are getting today!
None of the winter squash was very prolific this year, and harvested sizes are smaller than normal. At least we've got some tomatoes to share! There are currently two, count them: two, decent butternut squash in the field - as green as can be! There are a few smaller sizes that will probably never complete. The field is full of fall cabbage which has not filled out - so disappointing!
This winter squash salad with goat cheese sounds fantastic! If you're a Single or Part share with a smaller squash, just reduce the ingredients accordingly! We've shared lots of links over the last few weeks for pumpkin/winter squash recipes! You can freeze some, too! We roast a squash and then scrap out the meat, put it up in plastic zipper bags in one cup portions - which is exactly what you need for most baking recipes. Two bags will make a nice little pot of soup for four people!
Still have a zucchini on the counter? Or maybe you shredded and froze some? Any apples hanging on a tree in your neighborhood? These Apple Zucchini Muffins sound fantastic! And since we know you have carrots....try these Carrot Cake Pancakes! Speaking of carrots - fresh garden carrots will store for three to four month in the fridge. Here's directions for storing carrots, applies for beets as well!
