Letter from Stoneledge Farm:
It seems that every year there is a vegetable of the season that just simply produces more than we could have imagined. A couple of years ago it was the beets. This year it looks like it will be carrots. Carrots always amaze me but this year they have grown incredibly well. Pete and I have wanted to move aside slowly so the next generation could move in and Peter and Arliss now have the complete responsibility of all our production and harvest. They also do all of the driving to distribute the shares. A lot on young shoulders. They say the amazing carrot production is due to their superior management of the garden so confidence is not in short supply. Not sure, but there are a lot of carrots. The seed of the carrot is so light and the plants take so long to germinate that it is a constant battle keeping the weeds under control and the feathery leaves of the carrots growing. What a grand reward when we start to dig them.
What about the onions this season? They are the sweetest and largest we have ever grown. Try slicing them and roasting them. Just delicious. Peppers are so plentiful and the flavor is very good. Everything balances out in the end.
The tomatoes are plentiful although you may find that some have a green or yellow top. Just too much rain and cool and not enough heat and sun. But there are tomatoes and there is nothing like a tomato slice with a basil leaf sprinkled with salt. The Sun Gold Cherries continue on and just can not be beat for their flavor. Savor the summer flavors.
Enjoy the Vegetables
Deborah, for everyone at Stoneledge Farm
