I never got around to reporting on last week’s farm share — too busy a week! So here’s the report on farm shares 9 and 10. In a word: squash. Squash, squash and more squash. And if you’d have told me a year ago I’d be enthusiastic about squash, I’d have laughed in your face.
New for the two weeks were potatoes — red potatoes.

Last week we also got red cabbage (which turns cole slaw purple but tastes just as good and I didn’t get a picture ’cause I brought it to a barbecue and it all got eaten before I got a picture!), and chard, which I haven’t quite figured out yet (and didn’t photograph because, well, just because). And squash. Did I mention squash? Lots of squash.
This week, we also got… squash. I did mention squash, right? Lots and LOTS of squash.

So… you’re sitting there thinking five squash doesn’t seem like a lot, right? Maybe five wouldn’t be. But get a load of the SIZE of these things!

My guess is I get to spend most of Sunday cooking up squash casseroles to freeze for the dark days of winter.
We also got some new goodies this week. One was snap beans.

The other new goodie… and oh BOY was it a goodie… was a small container of nice lovely ripe raspberries…
And you have no idea how hard it was to get a picture first instead of just reaching for a spoon…
