Hi gatos! Hope this letter finds you all well. Our lovely garden is doing fine & adjusting to the seasons nicely. It’s basically taking care of itself… so we’re taking some time to do the same for ourselves. We’ve started playing  backgammon and making fires in the evening time. Not to mention that Anthony has been really inspired to make wonderful meals almost every night! We’ll continue to share the recipes with all of you and hopefully you’ll want to share some of your yummy dishes with us as well. Go ahead and post them on the blog if you’ve got a good one to share. Did you all hear the thunder last night!! I have to admit that I get a little scared everytime I hear it…then when the rain comes I feel calm again. How about you?

We received a phone call from another neighbor, Barbara Miller, who had an overabundance of organic grapes and offered to let us have them if we went to pick them. Well we just got back home from harvesting several trays of beautiful purple grapes!! Lucky for you they’ll be in the boxes this week along with some fantastic apples given to us by Kathy (yet another kind neighbor). Everything is organic and ready to eat!! Here’s a shout out to our amazing neighbors!!

A couple of items that I’d like to bring up:

• A box was left at Olympia’s this week
• The week before last (#19) someone took a box that was marked for the Houseman’s (full share)

No big deal, but we ended up having to make another full share box and deliver it on Friday. It was probably my fault because the marker I used wasn’t super fat and could’ve been easily missed. So whoever got that big beautiful box, I hope you made many wonderful meals and enjoyed every bit!!

The box that wasn’t picked up on week 20 (last week) is a mystery to us. We’re not sure who left it, but it was there for you. maybe you went out of town or couldn’t get it for some reason. In the future, please let us know so that we can try to accomodate you. It’s better to donate the food that way it doesn’t go to waste.

Today’s harvest:

Apples

grapes

mixed salad greens

cabbage or broccoli (it’ll be a surprise!)

rainbow chard

collard greens

Leeks

some recipes for you…
