Crop List: Cosmic Mix, Arugula, Garlic Curls, Kale, New Red Fire Head Lettuce, Maybe Sugar Snap Peas and/or Tomatoes We had some challenges with the weather in June...remember the cold wet spring? It resulted in some poor germination which is the cause for this week's amount of Cosmic Mix. We have plenty more to come...but it will be a bit slim this week. Yay for head lettuce! We are starting to see fruits on the summer squash plants! They have been growing under row cover all season, and are being uncovered as I type! We uncover them when they start to flower. It makes it easier for the pollinators to do their magic. We also have to be able to access them two times a week and covering and uncovering is too time consuming. I love squash plants. They look tropical in our Idaho garden, with the big leaves and bright yellow flowers. It some spots the plants were so big they were pushing on the row cover. The Cosmic Apple Community needs a big shout out!! Last fall we put out the call for our CSA Members to donate money so we could grow shares for the Teton Valley Food Pantry (TVFP). We have been donating 4 shares a year, but with the money you all donated the Pantry is now getting 15 shares a week. Donations came in all sizes. Some gave $10, some gave $2000, some are even donating their volunteer share. Every penny (and donated labor hour) is going to food for our community. Your donations totaled over $7200. The Cosmic Community is AMAZING!!! We believe everyone has the right to healthy food. Getting oneself out of a crisis situation can be hard enough...but imagine doing it without food that truly nourishes you. The feedback from the Pantry has been heartwarming. If you happen to see a list of sponsors from the TVFP, you can see that is says "Cosmic Apple Community". This means you! It was important to us that our larger community knows this is not just from Jed and I, but from all of us. Thank you for joining us on this journey to love and help each other however we can.
