Hi folks and welcome to week 11 of your CSA. Hope everyone has had a good week and are looking forward to this upcoming holiday weekend. Included again in your box is a large variety of tomatoes for everyone to share in salads or throw on hamburgers this weekend when celebrating the 4th. The growing season for tomatoes is 4-6 weeks in Mississippi, so get them while you can!! I personally plan to eat them until I get sick, but also want to make sure I have plenty of sauce put up to last me thru the upcoming winter. We are selling 10 pound boxes of the beefsteak tomatoes for $20.00 and 10 pound boxes of heirloom tomatoes for $30.00 . If you are interested in getting a box of "sauce" or "salsa" tomatoes please let us know via email twodogfarmsllc@gmail.com. It took a while, but we have pulled all of our onions out of the field! Thank goodness!! They are now drying at our dear friend, Mr. Charles' shop just down the road from the farm. Hope you enjoy the red onions in your box along with these contents:
1. Kale or Swiss Chard
2. Squash or Zucchini
3. Lemon Cucumbers
4. Slicing Cucumbers
5. Carrots
6. Heirloom Tomatoes
7. Beefsteak Tomatoes
8. Cherry Tomatoes
9. Red Onions
10. Cubanelle or Sweet Banana Peppers- Cubanelle is a sweet pepper that has a thin wall and is typically a frying or stuffing pepper; Banana Peppers are typically eaten raw or pickled
