July 15 - 21 produce

Greetings from Forest Creek!

This week, I am in the process of clearing out and preparing room for a good fall garden, so am in short supply of some items this week. Blackberries and squash are my mainstays this week. Last week I was able to pick about 1/3 bushel of squash (first strong week of production), a bit less than a quarter bushel of zuchinni. The zephyr squash is new to me this year and other growers and I find it more sweet and tender than regular crookneck squash; it is interesting looking, too, with a green blossom end. Herbs are bunched, and are somewhat limited in availability. Blackberries should still be going this week; I picked nearly 10 pints last week with ripe ones still on the vines and plenty of red ones left for this week.

A couple notes, just for kicks, as I get more organized about things: My main harvest day is Wednesday for the Tryon market, it helps if I can get your orders by Wednesday noon, so I can pull out whatever you'd like. We can take cash, check, or paypal payments to mollie_lebude@yahoo.com

As always, let me know if you'd like anything!
