Whooah, we're half way there

howdy folks.
I am one tuckered out farmer tonight.
please excuse the less than inspiring post.
we'll be soo excited for next week. see sneak preview pics at bottom.
please check previous posts for recipe links.
many hours in the sun. crispt.

weather forecast says: "Oppressive heat is forecast to arrive in force" and "The 'Dog Days of Summer' are coming later this week w/ very hot days & sultry nights expected. " (really it can get more oppressive?!) hopefully this will be good for the eggplants and tomatoes. just a handful have begun to ripen and a butt load expected in the coming weeks. If you would like to order tomatoes for canning, now would be a good time to put in your order. email me with your interest and we can discuss the details.

Chorus:
Whooah, we're half way there
Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin on a prayer

Box number 10 brought to you by bon jovi.

japanese eggplant: full moon farm.  tender and purple.

armenian cucumber: full moon farm. crunchy and green.

summer squash: full moon farm. soft and green. shishkabob?!

carrots: ancient lake garden. crunchy and orange.

purple top turnip: ancient lake garden. round and purple/white.

mixed herbs (basil, thyme, oregano, dill, rosemary): you may have access to wonderful herbs like this already and in case you dont... here they are. great for dressings, sauces (dill yogurt) tea (infuse room temp water with thyme and oregano flowers for nice treat), or cut and dry for later use. using stripped rosemary sticks for shishkabob skewers is all the rage these days, make sure its soaked in water  so it doesnt burn over the flames.
