What’s in the box?

Patty pan summer squash, blackberries, green beans, sweet peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, beets, carrots, garlic.

• Patty pan summer squash – similar to zucchini, but with a different shape. Our plants suddenly kicked in with a plethora of these bright yellow, flying-saucer-shaped summer squashes. Most of them are on the larger side (still delicious but not quite as tender as the tiny ones). Slice and grill them on the BBQ. Or cut into pieces and roast in the oven. They also make great soup. And of course zucchini bread or brownies. Our zucchini/patty pan season is quickly coming to an end. The plants looked great last week, but after Saturday’s storm they are covered in mildew and declining rapidly.
• Blackberries are also finishing. This will be the final week for them.
• Green beans, sweet peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, beets, carrots, & garlic complete the box.
