my friends Irene and Kevin recommended using the pie pumpkin in a pasta sauce - I have also used it as a layer in veggie lasagna - it's not just for pies!

thanks Kevin and Irene for helping us out on Labor Day - we really appreciated the help!!!!!!!!

This year, as we have done the past 2 years - we will be combining the last 2 bags into one pick up. things don't grow much in October and most of the items are meant to last for a while. This means the last pick up will be October 20th.

we're adjusting to a new rhythm with our interns Mike and Bobby having returned back to school-

we have this week:

lettuce

radish

buttercup squash

carrots

lots of eggplant

pea tendrils or summer squash or beans

kale

dill

adirondack and desiree potatoes

here's what we have for August 25th:

arugula

lettuce

basil

scallions

french breakfast radish

komatsuna

cucumbers

ailsa craig onions

jimmy nardelo peppers

eggplant or beans

Dill

Does anyone have ideas for what to do with the dill?

I make the yogurt, cucumber, dill salad but still have tons left.

Help!

arugula

chard

red top turnips - for the last time, we promise

Cucumbers in all their glory!

Hi y'all.

I don't know about you, but I'm living on BLT's this week.

Gotta make those tomatoes shine for all they're worth.

I also have been truly enjoying our bumper crop of cucumbers.

My latest delight, cucumber martinis.

My favorite nightcap this summer has been a gin or vodka martini with an entire small or medium cucumber in it!

I use a drop of dry vermouth, a couple of ounces of gin or vodka (they both have their unique charms).

Shake or stir, according to your preference. Strain into a chilled martini glass and add 15-20 small slices of cucumber.

Good Lord, they're yummy.

If we get more cukes this week, I'm gonna think about doing an infusion.

basil syrup
