During the last few weeks, we have been getting great shipments of produce from our CSA farm. Judging from the eggplants, purple tomatillos, purple pole beans, purple majesty potatoes, and purple bell peppers, our farmer Steve seems to have an inordinate fondness for a certain color, but we'll take any whatever vegetables he's offering.
This weekend, we attended the annual harvest party at the farm, which involved a huge potluck feast, fresh-pressed apple cider, a scavenger hunt, and a square dance.
These goats were thrilled to have so many people around to feed them green beans.
There is only a month of farm pickups left, but there appears to be enough tomatoes and other crops to last the rest of the year.
These peppers and marigolds complement each other well.
I've been busy revising a paper (awful work) so I had not been to our borrowed garden for some time.
This morning I found tomatoes such as these Belle Starrs pulling their vines down to the ground.
While others are climbing for the sky.
I picked a good load of tomatoes, beans, tomatillos, and my first-ever winter squash (top left). I dont know if I should eat it or display it as art.
This week, we will be making more tomato and tomatillo sauce for winter storage. At least our freezer economy is in good shape.
