Austin 2016 Summer Farm Share/CSA – Week 8

Fall planting continues as we hope for a little rain this week.  We’re grateful for the showers in the area that have reduced the temperatures a little and the clouds that shade the ground and slow the evaporation.  We’ve had just a few sprinkles so far, which is more than normal for July.  A downpour would be a wonderful extra blessing.

Here’s our expected harvest this week:

Full Share – Sunflower sprouts, Squash, Cucumbers, 2 Winter squash, Large Melon, Okra, Peppers (double portion), Tomatoes, Eggplant, Garlic, Onions, Basil,
