Farm Share - week of June 21

Posted on June 21st, 2021 by Paula Reynolds

Happy Summer!

This week we started harvesting cucumbers and zucchini - a sure sign of summer.

We're growing English cucumbers for the first time and so far the plants look like they will be very productive. In years past we've had disappointing cucumber yields, due to pests and disease, but this year we think there will be an abundance.

There's plenty of variety available this week, so don't forget to customize your shares to get exactly what you want. 


Vegetable Storage Tip:

We don't wrap our English cucumbers in plastic which means they will get floppy if not stored properly in the fridge. Always keep them in a crisper drawer set to high humidity, and don't store them with your fruit. If you don't plan on eating them within a few days, wrap them loosely in a plastic bag or a damp tea towel to help them maintain their moisture.
