Summer Vacation?

I'm back after a lot of roaming around. In July I managed to hit 7 states--a little tiring, but a very fun month. Because of all the moving around, I haven't had much of a chance to document the last 4 weeks of CSA goodness. I've actually lost track of all that we've gotten in that time, but I'll try to list at least a cross section of what July brought us:

-summer squash
-zucchini
-beets
-onions (green, white, red!)
-leeks
-potatoes
-eggplant
-cucumbers
-carrots
-cabbage (all kinds!)
-salad greens
-chard
-garlic (it's phenomenal)
-chives
-dill
-basil

I think that's pretty close to everything, but I may have left some out. Still, a really impressive variety! And next week our fruit share will start (peaches! berries!), so there's much anticipation.

I've also been trying an herb growing experiment. For the record, I have minimal plant-care experience, and I was fairly convinced that I would kill any plant within days. The project started pretty early in the spring with a couple plants, and there have been some ups and downs (the plants showed their displeasure at being abandoned for a week in 98 degree weather...; some tiny bugs attacked the parsley and it didn't stand a chance...), but at the moment I have 9 pretty hearty plants, and they make wonderful additions to just about any dish imaginable. We'll see if they decide to stick around through the fall. It would be nice if they would consider being indoor plants during the colder months!
