<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\nSomehow I missed taking pictures of the Dutch Blue kale – which is the workhorse of this garden – and the Chinese Red Noodle Beans that are just beginning to bloom again. \u00a0I’m sure I missed other things, too.<\/p>\n
We will have lots of melons down at Dana’s this week. \u00a0I hope you’ll take advantage! \u00a0 These are some of the best we’ve had in a couple of years! \u00a0Wonderful flavor!<\/p>\n
The Red Ripper peas are just now coming off – we had our first dinner of peas, “Hatch” pepper cornbread, and cantaloupe last night. \u00a0It’s one of\u00a0our favorite ‘comfort’ meals that brings all the pleasure of the garden together. \u00a0 Red Rippers are our favorite\u00a0heirloom southern\u00a0pea.<\/p>\n
The Cherokee Purple tomatoes had a short production this year and are almost gone already, but other heirlooms are still producing beautifully. \u00a0Green Zebra, Amana Orange and our favorite San Marzanos are just now ripening. \u00a0There will be a lot of sauce-making going on the next week or two. \u00a0 You can look for these at Dana’s, as well. \u00a0 \u00a0About 20\u00a0tomatoes (3\u00a0lbs) will make about a quart of homemade tomato sauce using our recipe. \u00a0 \u00a0We’ll leave some recipes there, too. \u00a0Very easy!<\/p>\n
There are only\u00a0two weeks left in our first CSA season! \u00a0 It’s been such fun! \u00a0And such a great learning experience! \u00a0Thanks so much to all who took part in it!<\/p>\n
After that, we will have only a few veggies down at Dana’s during August while we take some family time off.<\/p>\n
If you’d be interested in joining us for a short fall CSA – probably 8 weeks from Sept 15 to Oct 30 – please let us know. \u00a0 Planting for that season is happening now, so we need to know how much demand there will be for fall veggies. \u00a0 Click HERE<\/a> to find out what it’s all about.<\/p>\n And thank you for being such wonderful supporters! \u00a0 You make it all such fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I know I can’t complain about the heat. \u00a0We’ve had such a mild summer so far and I’m very grateful. \u00a0Still, gardening has to be done in the early morning. \u00a0I’m slowing down considerably by…Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-random","odd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1404\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/gopherknoll.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
