Crop List: Cosmic Mix, Arugula, Collards, Mirlo Head Lettuce, Garlic Curls, Turnips and maybe Bok Choy This week brings the garlic curls to your share. I love garlic curls. What other produce can you wrap around your wrist as a fashion statement? They taste amazing and last forever. Seriously, I have never had them go bad before using...I'm talking MONTHS in a bag in the fridge. Use them just like garlic. Mince them and add them to your cooking oil or salad dressings. Cut them long like a green bean and add amazing texture and flavor to dishes. I equate one garlic curl to one clove of garlic when using recipes. If you want to google them...use the term "garlic scape". Jed and I started calling them garlic curls before the internet was an option for learning about things. Yes, we are that old. We spent years convincing customers to eat them and by the time we learned they were called "scapes" we had trained too many people to call them "curls" to go back on our word. So there. We are old, stubborn and still love garlic curls! I can feel a palpable shift in the season. We are at the point where the garden seems to take a big pause. The moment of actually switching to summer in the Tetons. We are almost out of all the tender spring greens. They don't love the heat and have bolted or stopped growing. The bigger chunky, crunchy, more famous veggies are about to appear. Things like peas, zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes. The unirrigated grass has turned brown. The biting flies are having their last hurrah! It is suddenly warm enough to want to swim in frigid mountain water. Summer is here! We are getting ready for a hot week on the farm. When I left on Monday afternoon the greenhouse thermometer said 104 degrees...while it was completely vented. This is great news for the tomatoes! The plants are loaded with green fruit and the heat will prompt the switch to gorgeous reds and oranges. I don't think we will have enough to spread around to the CSA this week, but VERY soon!
