CSA & Columbus Farm Market Report for July 14th

What a perfect day today.  As friends and I sat outside the North Market today, we were remarking on the fantastic weather we've been having lately.  It's a shame I have to ruin it with work.  Ah, well, electricity sure is nice.

I got up nice and early to head to the Worthington Market for my Arbor Hill Organics red thumb potatoes (there were precious few this week, but there will be more next week); their baked goods also looked really lovely, too, but I resisted.  There are so many things growing right now, almost too much to recount!  But I shall do my best.  I bought some baby squash and the last remaining basket of baby squash with the blossoms still attached!  From the Golden Beet Farm, some lovely red carrots (above); delicious, but the exciting beauty is only skin deep.  From Cottage Gardens, some nice fat sweet red onions, and some skinny hot ones.  Ribeyes were to be had from Up the Lane Cattle (the last of those, alas, for the season), Cherries and blueberries from Gillogly Orchards, some lamb chorizo and from Northridge Organics, some kohlrabi and garlic from a forgotten source (below), some peaches! and leeks from Zemnicki, and lastly, some poblano and Hungarian wax peppers from Wenger Produce.

And then, like a whirlwind, it was off to the North Market, where the crowds ensured a very brief visit - just for my weekly Toby Run shitakes mushrooms, more squash blossoms from Comb's farms, popcorn from Quiver Full, and my CSA box.  This week's box contained cucumbers - burpless and regular (I had never heard of "burpless" cukes before, but who knows) - golden squash, which looks like an orange zucchini (below) and supposedly tastes like a delicious zucchini. (The truth is, I don't really like yellow summer squash very much, considering how much I love zucchini)  I also received broccoli, scallions, eggs, greens, and green beans.  Husband will be very happy.  I see some green beans and bacon in my future.

What did you get?
