Meuse box 11

It's our last box of 2024 and it's full of delicious late spring/early summer hearty veg 😁.

On the farm, we're busy harvesting, weeding where we can/the most dire areas, and harvesting more. I hope to uncover some of our garden of weird and wonderful things as well as tidy up our edible flowers before the end of the year and we (hopefully) get into full tomato flow.

In the box, two beautiful cabbages- Alcosa Savoy and Primero red. More brassica in my fave Fioretto 70 sprouting cauliflower with slightly elongated florets with stems thay blanch to a rich light green contrasting with its white ends. Because it's squash season, more Mexicana!! And then before it's too hot for good lettuce, two baby Bibb lettuces and lastly our Mokum carrots.

Order by Sunday 15th Dec for collection/delivery (CBD to Muizenberg and Atlantic Seaboard) on Weds 18 Dec.

Also, swipe through for cute baby vegetables. They're almost as adorable as baby goats or kittens but not nearly as endearing as a baby Bernese Mountain dog.

Short notice this week as I got distracted but look at the colours!! It's that perfect time of the season when faster and slower spring crops look (and taste) amazing. Hooray diversity!!

We got our last big transplanting done and are now weeding and harvesting. Until April 😅. Swipe to see some of the gorgeous crops coming in now. Also, any wasp experts out there? Found the two in the last pick sucking at some ex- white cabbage butterfly caterpillar juice. Last season was a really bad one with these guys chowing our brassicas. This season, we've seen some flying and have had a bit of damage here and there but not bad. Wondering who these sucking wasps are?

In this week's box (and remember - NB if you want some inspiration on cooking some of these veg along with a delicious dinner and a complementary box, join us on Weds for our veg box workshop! Tickets via link in bio):

Purple Sword celtuce (Asian stem lettuce), KN Bravo daikon, Melody sprouting broccoli, two of our four cucumber varieties, two of our mini Bibb lettuce varieties, and Romance carrots.

Meuse box 7

The good news is, nothing has blown away in this wind and I remembered to check the wind forecast before committing the pepper seedlings to the elements. The bad news is, that means they're not in the ground yet. The really bad news is that the cutworm continues to have an appetite for our tomato plants this season. The really good news is- our cold room is working, the summer squash and first brassicas are maturing, and tomato trellising has started.

In the box this week, the first summer squash or the season. Mexicana a cousa style squash great for stuffing and roasting, a little sweet, and drier than the bland baby marrow. More of the gorgeous baby bibb lettuces, the tail end of Li Ren Choi Pak choy and Hakurei turnips, and crunchy Romance carrots and Avalanche beets.

The greenhouse is emptying and the fields are filling with weeds and crops. Weeds faster than crops but we're slowly 🤞 getting on that. Just in time maybe as some of the late spring brassicas are starting to mature and require regular harvests. If only our cold room would get fixed now 🙄. I do love how our season has it's mini seasons- propagation/seeding, weeding/transplanting/prepping beds, weeding/harvest/summer cover crop, harvest and harvest, harvest/fall cover. It fun watching the flow of the seasons through our veg boxes as well- crops coming and going, some persisting all season, some just a quick blip.

In next week's box - very springy Vroma fava beans and Li Ren Choi pak choy, some colourful Narvik carrots, KN Bravo daikon, and Bright Lights chard, and the best beets and cabbage- Avalanche and Caraflex.

Seems we were so in the thick of prepping beds and transplanting that I forgot to post last week's box 😅. First succession of tomatoes, more cucurbits, leek, lettuce, more brassicas all in the ground in the past week. We've also been busy weeding beds that have been ignored while we got things ready for transplant babies. Hopefully the farm will start tidying up in the next few weeks.

In the box for next Weds, some Vroma Fava beans, Mache salad leaves, Li Ren Choi pak choy, and fresh Moroccan mint. From underground, some Hakurei turnips, Purple Star carrots, and Avalanche beets.

What a beautiful week of coolish, calm weather perfect for transplanting som cucurbits and moving some herbs around. We're now onto helping our soon to be tomato block recover from the winter floods.
