Wk 13, Sept. 16

Wow, was it cold this morning (and wet, not a nice mix). We actually started a camp fire while washing and assembling your bags. The weather report is calling for a possible frost tonight, and I am praying we do not get it, because there are hundreds more tomatoes to come and I don't want to lose them. I've been making tomato sauce all week. 12 quarts down, but we used about 60 a year, so NO FROST PLEASE!!!!!! Our gardens are too big to try and cover crops with blankets and such too, so we really just have keep our fingers crossed.

Trying to do a million things today before we head out for a weekend camping trip (yeah, going to be so warm), so this setup is different and hope I didn't leave anything out of have too many typos :-) You are on your own again this week (sorry I keep leaving) and the tomatoes and cherry tomatoes are on a table when you walk in the barn, and make sure you grab yours.

Medium:
Spaghetti Squash - this winter squash is stringy like spaghetti, hence the name. You can roast it, or boil it. It has a taste similar to other squashes, but actually isn't bad with actual spaghetti sauce on it.
Cabbage (yes, again - try making sauerkraut! I've got a large batch in my fridge right now)
Corn - these are the last of the ears, and have been husked for you, and any bad spot cut off. Would probably be best to use this corn in a recipe vs. corn on the cob.
Jerusalem Artichoke - nutty & delicious, also known as sunchokes. Skins can be eaten if clean. Great roasted, can make souop with them. They are super trendy in gourmet cooking right now so google a recipe and try them!
Kale - we just couldn't skip a week :-)
Sage
Mixed Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes - we are not sure what happened to our cherry tomato plants this year - we only ended up with 3 or 4. Thankfully, our good friends at Morgan Hill Farm in town had more than enough, so we traded, wait for it, CABBAGE with them to get you some organic cherries. So sweet!
