Harvesting Greenbeans this week and what to do with that wonderful summer squash!

Posted on June 7th, 2020 by Sheila Dicks

We are harvesting greenbeans this week, another one of those vegetables that taste soooo good fresh! We grow a combination of yellow, green and purple so you will most likely receive a combination. The summer squash is still producing strong and Im borrowing some words that echo so loud what state we are in with the wonderful summer squash! I have also included some of their yummy recipes! Remember the summer squash will be gone soon.

"Do you hear that? Listen closely. You hear it, right? It’s the sound of a million zucchinis and other summer squashes being tucked away into your CSA boxes or (Maybe even waiting on your front porch, left there at midnight by a desperate neighbor gardener.) The zucchini and squash are waiting for you."

"Are you ready for summer’s most prolific producers? We’ve got you covered with recipes that range from summer squash with baked eggs, to green curry with chicken and zucchini, and of course the always popular zucchini bread."
