<\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\tSpring onions have finally announced the end of their cycle. \u00a0They are ready to dig (and cure for longer storage.) Squash bugs and powdery mildew have taken their toll on the summer squash – but not until after they produced many, many pounds of good eating for us all.<\/p>\n
This, of course, is good news all around. The onions and potatoes will be at market again this week. And the space they had in the garden will be taken by a new crop of garbanzo beans (think yummy hummus) and soybeans (edamame). The onions will be replaced by those delicious little french soleil beans we brought last year. And on it goes through the rest of the garden. Spring greens will give way soon to equally delicious summer treats, including egyptian and strawberry spinach. And there are plenty of heirloom tomatoes, okra (we cut the first of the new crop today!), red ripper peas, peppers, eggplant and sweet corn still to come. Never fear. Summer will see some great gardens this year!<\/p>\n
We’ll bring summer squash this week, but it may be the last for a while until the late crop comes in. \u00a0Butternut and buttercup ‘winter’ squash, too. \u00a0Fresh basil, spearmint and chocolate mint – the summer herbs are just now taking off.<\/p>\n It may be warm tomorrow, but the veggies will be just-picked fresh!<\/p>\n See you in the morning!<\/p>\n \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wow. \u00a0Last week we started market at 68 deg or so. \u00a0A beautiful late spring day.

\nFor this week, we’ll have the great dragon tongue beans, along with old-fashioned Contender green beans. Beets and turnip greens, multi-colored carrots, fingerling potatoes and the last of the spring onions (with green tops). \u00a0Plenty of Kale, Swiss Chard and Buttercrunch lettuce along with some fresh bags of mixed greens. \u00a0Cabbages and kohlrabi.<\/p>\n
