A rainy harvest this morning. Happy August! I'm not complaining though because the plants really like it! In the midst of all the summer harvest, I am gearing up for fall crops: starting lettuce, fennel bulb, and mizuna, and wrangling up my carrot, parsnip, and radish seed to direct sow. It's bittersweet because while it's always great to put future-food in the ground, I sometimes want to revel unabashedly in the summery excitement of finding a red gem of a tomato, or breathing in the intoxicating smell of basil. It's a bit easier to get in the fall mindset today in the drizzle though!
In your box this week (sorry no photo!):
squash
kale
lettuce
onions
peppers OR basil
