Ninth CSA from Kretschmann Farm
No, I haven’t forgotten how to count…this is the ninth crate of green goodness from our CSA. I totally dropped the ball on taking pictures or posting what we got last week…sorry. Just take my word that it was plentiful and good!
This week’s share had to offer:
Lg. head Lettuce
Lg. bag Carrots
8 Pickling Cucumbers
2 Green Bell Peppers
2 Yellow Wax Peppers? (if you know what those yellow guys are, let me know)
1 Fatty Jalapeño
2 Zucchini Squash
8 Red Potatoes
Sm. bag Green Beans
11 Tomatoes
6 Green Onions
Sm bunch Cilantro
1 Pint of Blueberries**
Bonus:
*Sweet neighbors Sarah & Bill shared some Cherry Tomatoes with Elijah and I as we walked home and sent us home with a Pimento (the reddish looking bell pepper thing in the picture).
**We also ordered a flat (12 pints) of blueberries from our CSA.
***Tonight I picked ten black heirloom tomatoes, two large bunches of basil, one large bunch of sage and one roma tomato from our community garden.
I cut and froze three and a half quarts worth of green beans from this week and last week. I frozen six pints of blueberries and made two dozen blueberry muffins and one and a half dozen blueberry mini-muffins.
I’ve got tons of cukes to try and pickle…with a new recipe. I need to make and freeze tomato/pasta sauce and cut and freeze some squash to add to soup this Winter.
Did I mention that we are flush with yummy veggies right now!
Hello again. Those peppers look vaguely like either cubanelle or gypsy peppers to me? Probably “sweet-ish” and not hot (You’d be able to tell if they were hot, probably, by sniffing). Good for most things. Frying, grilling, stuffing, soups, etc.
A good variety of things you have there. Our potted pepper plants didn’t do so well this year, but I’m planning a square foot garden for next. Just got my seed savers catalog, I swear it’s better than the penney’s catalog when I was a kid.

Thanks Sara! I knew they were not wax peppers, but that’s the only thing my mind knew of, you know? They are ’sweet-ish’ and taste pretty much like a bell pepper.
