What is a Garden Share?

This is!

That's representative of the box our customers receive every Friday. The idea is that they pay a set amount in the spring for 10 weeks of boxes of produce from the garden, basically buying a "share" of the garden. This box is from 2 weeks ago. It included heirloom beets, cauliflower, banana peppers, broccoli, radishes, multi-colored carrots, zucchini, white onions, leeks, snap peas, a big box of salad greens, and baby red potatoes

In other news, Pepper the Pig decided to fall sick again on Sunday. She was stumbling around like she was drunk, and generally being uncoordinated. I figured out yesterday that she probably had an inner ear infection, so I used an old-time remedy and poured a capful of rubbing alcohol into each of her ears. I figured I would have to do that every day for 3 or 4 days but, incredibly, she was acting completely normal within 3 hours! A modern operation would have had that pig on a full course of penicillin for 2 weeks, or just culled her to save cost! I am a little tired of the drama from Pepper though, she had better be one delicious pig to make up for the hassle she has given me. Speaking of that, the appointment has been made and the pigs are going to the butcher September 10th.
