2 HOT 2 COOK
Today, June 6, is supposed to be 7 degrees hotter than yesterday.
This is the time of year I begin the annual mind games to deal with summer heat . . . “only x weeks till mid September.” I choose mid September because the transition between August 31 and September 1 is usually indistinguishable.
With food being a necessary part of our lives there’s no getting around meal prep, BUT, you don’t have to heat up the kitchen! We hope what follows inspires you to enjoy summer’s bounty a little easier.

THIS WEEK’S GROWER NOTES
We have the best Growers in the Wiregrass! Please learn more about them on our Grower Page.
Grier Acres: The past weeks has been a tough one. Still combating bugs on our plants combined with the struggles of no water source. We do have large totes and a church allowed us to fill our containers but is labor intensive. We are missing a lot of the rain that others are getting. Our squash plants are green but just not producing. Our chickens and woodpeckers have been eating a lot of blueberries. Jeannie did snag about 1.5 cups last weekend for pancakes. But we are GRATEFUL. Last year we didn’t get any. Must always see the silver lining.
AVALON FARMS: It’s good to be back! It was great not having market responsibilities last week, but it seemed so weird. Most of the time I wasn’t sure what day of the week it was or what I was supposed to be doing. On a normal market week tasks are divided up over certain days to keep me on track. No market meant no market related tasks which confused things. Ha ha
Fresh garlic is SO MUCH easier to peel. I didn’t know that. It makes life so much easier. You can actually peel them with your fingers. No knife or peeler required. And there is no hard bit of seed plate on the end! The cloves come out shiny and very tender. If you smash one of these with the flat of your knife it is FLAT.
Working on the plan for the fall and winter garden. I’m open to suggestions. Anybody hungry for anything in particular?
MARY’S PEEPS: Mary sends greetings and that she misses her Market friends. She’s been occupied with taking care of family needs these last few months and asks that if anyone needs anything special to let her know.
