Ground Cherries Are Here!

Do you know what ground cherries are? They are a husk tomato relative that get sweet. They are terrific in baked things, preserves, or fresh. We used to have them in something called "One Egg Cakes" and if I (Melissa) can get a hold of that recipe, I'll post it - I think, unless it's someone's family secret! Ground cherries are you-pick. They actually fall on the ground when they're ripe.

Green bell peppers are starting in this week also! They're just beginning to ripen now, so expect around 2 per full share.

A good number of cherry tomatoes are also in for you-pick: mostly red, but there are also some yellow and orange varieties that are ripe, and some yellow pear tomatoes are coming in too.

Beans are going fast -- they might only be left this week and next week.

No more kohlrabi until fall, but we should have cucumbers, zucchini, and yellow squash, as well as all the rest of the summer garden gang!
