Things are definitely in a predictable pattern right now. I’m a little surprised, though, at the lack of squash and eggplant, as those are usually in abundance at this point. However, I’ve got no problem with having lots of tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes on hand! We got one large bunch of basil, one pound of red and yellow bell peppers, three pounds of white and yellow potatoes, three pounds of Big Beef and Pink Girl tomatoes, one pint of Sungold tomatoes, and one pint of mixed cherry tomatoes.

Last year at this time, we received two pounds of red and yellow bell peppers and serrano peppers, three pounds of Rose Gold potatoes, two acorn squash, three pounds of tomatoes, and one pint of Sungold tomatoes. Rose Golds are yellow-fleshed and pink-skinned, unlike Yukon Golds, which are yellow-fleshed and brown-skinned. But both are equally delicious!
