These last few weeks the bins will be very similar to what they have been. Lots of lettuce, the arugula is doing great and you'll see cilantro in the last 2 bins. The basil doesn't enjoy the cool nights and if we get frost you won't get anymore of it. The kale is making a comeback and the swiss chard is still going strong. The beans and zucchini are still coming and the warm, sunny days help. Peppers, sweet and hot. I always take a little taste before I put them in what I'm cooking. There are some sweet banana peppers that look like hot peppers so try them before cooking with them. I mentioned a few weeks back that the tomatoes I'm giving you are not completely ripe. In the last week I will be picking ALL the tomatoes that are still on the vine. This means you will be getting green tomatoes. Although they will ripen eventually you can also use green tomatoes. In the last blog update I will post some recipes for them. You may have noticed the small broccoli sprouts with your salad greens. That's it for the cabbage family this year but you already know my woes about them. Carrots, beets, turnips and parsnips are still in the garden so look for some of these in the last 2 baskets. More fennel, parsley and the last of the leeks. In the last week we will pick whatever squash is available. Some of it won't be completely ripe but we will be picking it anyway. You can still use it and I will post some ideas and recipes. Here's a recipe for some green tomatoes in case you are to impatient to wait for them to ripen. It also uses up the basil.
