September 28th, 2009. Week #17.

Sorry about the late posting — my internet connection was down, maybe because of the strong winds on Sunday and Monday.  Today is a BIG DAY in the world of growing food:

FROST!

For this reason, next week, October 5th, will be our FINAL WEEK OF THE 2009 CSA SEASON.  Please do your best to return any boxes, buckets, and lids you have around your house.

In your week #17 box:

1. Tomatoes
2. Broccoli
3. Beans
4. Cuke-nuts
5. Kohlrabi
6. Carrots
7. Beets 
8. Hot Peppers
9. Sweet Peppers
10. Kale
11. Baby Bok-Choy
12. Eggplant
13. Parsley
14. Onion Chives
15. Basil — with the roots still attached.  Plunk them into a bucket of water, or plant them in a pot, and enjoy some indoor basil for a while.
16. Rosemary  —  6 sprigs of Rosemary rubber banded together with 2 sprigs of Sage.  Wrap them in plastic and store in the fridge for fresh use, hang them in a cool, dark place to dry, or throw them in a bag in the freezer.
17. Sage  — same care instructions as for Rosemary
