Summer, Fall, Which Season is it?
By Linda Dansbury
Once again, the weather this past week has been confusing in terms of going back and forth from hot to downright chilly!
Here is a bit of what we ate this past week:
Tomatoes, garlic, onion - Using a combination of Anchor Run and my own tomatoes, I made a pretty nice sized batch of tomato sauce.
Eggplant, peppers, onions - grilled and had alongside hamburgers
Butternut squash, kale, garlic - I wanted to do something other than freezing my "seconds" butternut squash so I found a very simple stir fry recipe that used both the squash and kale - it was very good. It was seasoned with salt, pepper and a little chile powder.
Potatoes - I have a very easy way of roasting potatoes that is also delicious. Simply cut them in half and place the potatoes on a cookie sheet, cut side down - place a little bit of butter under each potato and bake in a 375 degree oven until the potatoes are tender and browned on the cut side - that's it!
How did you enjoy your harvest? Please email me at lindadansbury@comcast.net and put Anchor Run in the subject line so I can find your note.
Even though it enjoys eating some of our crops, we tolerate swallowtail caterpillars because they're pretty low in number and don't do too much damage. Plus, they're beautiful in this life stage as well as the flying one. This particular caterpillar munches on some flowering bronze fennel in the herb garden.
