Attention CSA members

As many of you may already know, Hattie (and crew) will be retiring at the end of November. We want to take this opportunity to thank you all for your patronage. We couldn’t have done it without you! If you are a CSA member, please remember to redeem your un-used credits. We have plenty of great items and your credit is good on everything we sell at the garden as well as everything at the farmers market. We will have weekly hours at the garden through the fall.

What’s Available from Hattie

The following freshly harvested produce and flowers will be available at the Garden on Tuesday, August 13, Wednesday, August 140 and Thursday, August 15. We will also be at the HLFM on Saturday, August 17 from 8 to 12.

• Beefsteak Red Tomatoes — Choose from Bigdena, a large, firm beefsteak with a slightly acidic, full-bodied and tangy flavor and Jolena, a deep red beefsteak, also chosen for flavor and a bit smaller than Bigdena for those of you wanting a smaller slicer.
• Heirloom Tomatoes — Our heirlooms this week are Pineapple Bicolor, a household favorite around here. It is an enormous, sweet and juicy and absolutely delicious low-acid tomato. We also have the much loved Cherokee Purple, a medium sized dark, mahogany red tomato with a distinctive flavor, dense juicy texture. Sweet and smoky with a nice balance of acidity.
• Cherry Tomatoes — Heaping pints of delicious cherry tomatoes.
• Basil — Freshly cut. Pesto amounts of basil ready now! Email Hattie and she will have it ready for you by the pound.
• Chives — Freshly cut.
• Flat ‘Gigante d’Italia’ Parsley — Full of fresh flavor that lifts any dish. Freshly cut.
• Poblano Peppers — Sweet mildly-hot (also referred as Ancho’s when dried).
• Shishito Peppers — These popular appetizer peppers are mostly a mild chili pepper, with an occasional hotter pepper. Toss in oil and sear in the skillet, then sprinkle with flaky salt.
• Carmen Red Italian Frying Peppers — Sweet Italian pepper that are considered by some to be the best-tasting Italian frying pepper.
• Hardneck Garlic — Hardneck garlic has a stronger, more interesting flavor than softneck garlic, and the larger cloves are easier to peel.
• Eggplant — Asian and Italian.
• Young Arugula — Triple-washed and bagged.
• Fresh-Cut Flower Bouquets — This week we have bouquets with Zinnias, Celosia, Ageratum, Dianthus and Gomphrena. Each bouquet comes with flower food, and is guaranteed to last at least a week. They are exquisite.
