See me smile?<\/p>\n
Okay, I know better than to trash talk the bunnies. \u00a0They’ll be joining forces with the gophers and we’ll have real<\/em> challenges! \u00a0Mother Nature usually finds a way to put me in my place. \u00a0But it does<\/em> feel good to finally see the soybeans growing so well.<\/p>\n We had our first plate of fresh edamame with dinner tonight, along with stuffed cubanelle peppers. \u00a0Sweet and delicious! \u00a0There won’t be much this week, so shop early.<\/p>\n The kale is trying to make a comeback with the cooler weather – and I’m letting it try since the new fall kale won’t be ready for a few weeks yet. \u00a0 We’ll have plenty of Red Ripper peas; burgundy okra, cut small so it’s just right to use whole for pickling or stews; serrano, tabasco and anaheim peppers for heat; cubanelle, marconi and bell peppers for sweet salads and for stuffing; eggplant; \u00a0a few late watermelons, and with luck, the first of the fall squashes.<\/p>\n Of course, we’ll bring both sweet and Thai basil, and arugula. \u00a0And, for the first time, a little New Zealand spinach along with some Malabar spinach. \u00a0These last two are not really like our regular spinach, and, of course, they aren’t really spinach – but they do have a similar taste and enjoy the Texas summer heat. \u00a0If you’re looking for something different to explore, one of these might be just what you’re after.<\/p>\n We’ve been highlighting honey from the Kaufman Farm recently. \u00a0They keep a hive out on our garden site along with others around the Lake Athens area. \u00a0It’s local, raw, and unfiltered. \u00a0And so very good!<\/p>\n Looking\u00a0forward\u00a0to seeing you Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" See the new bunny fence?
