The week that we should have gotten our sixth CSA box, I went back east for a family visit and Milton and H went down to Moab. So I paused our pick-up and opted for a double box the following week, knowing how good the local produce is right now. H didn't miss out entirely on the local produce situation, however, as he found a surprise zucchini at our front door. The note reads: "Hello Neighbor! Today is YGP's favorite holiday: National Sneak a Zucchini on Your Neighbor's Porch Day! We hope you like summer squash. In community, your neighbors at the Youth Garden Project."
When we got back and picked up our two CSA boxes, each box came with a big watermelon. That's a lot of watermelon! We also got double rations of a different melon (Krenshaw, maybe?), gorgeously perfumed donut peaches, regular peaches, beets (sigh), tomatoes, banana peppers, regular cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, green cabbages (that's a lot of cabbage!), eggplants, blackberries and corn. As always, we ate the corn on the first night; bananas and leftover red cabbage went into a tofu scramble; I put my box of blackberries into oatmeal; tomatoes and cucumbers were sliced for lunches; I prepped miso-glazed eggplant for work lunches; put green cabbage in spicy gochujang noodles and also vegan cabbage rolls (which were frozen for future consumption). The peaches ripened very quickly so some got frozen and some got put in smoothies. And the melons were all quite good, eaten fresh and also put into frozen margaritas.
