Hi everyone,
Yea! The 2009 Blue Sky Guide is now available. I was so excited to see all of the wonderful offerings in this year’s guide.
Hi everyone,
Well, it appears that fall is early in Minnesota. The temps outside at 4:00ish yesterday were mid 60’s, clouds off and on, and a hint of a cool wind. The crops are changing again as Mother Nature plays her tricks.
Our basket was still filled with wonderful foods we will enjoy this next week. The tomatoes are gorgeous. Last week I made a wonderful sauce with all of the tomatoes I had in the house, plus some shredded zucchini. It will make a delightful sauce for lasagna.

Week 10 - Red and Green
Hi everyone,
The weather is playing tricks again. We’ve gone from warm and steamy to cool weather with some days the temps only in the high 60’s and nights down in the 50’s. It saddens me because summer is moving away far too fast. It has also confused the crops a bit. So along with the drought conditions, the weather is much cooler.

Hi everyone,
The weather has been strange and we are actually looking at rock hard ground again. The lack of rain is visible in our area. Not only on the farm, but in our yards and particularly in the areas where water conservation rules are in effect. In our community, we can not water lawns, unless you have a well.
So, on the farm, they have to work extra hard to keep the crops growing. It is interesting because it has not been exceptionally warm, just very dry. Even the 2 inches of rain they received last week was not enough to push the growth forward.
Hi everyone,
This was another week of more than our fair share. My goodness, the basket for week 8 of our CSA was filled to the brim. Lots of fresh corn, three small head of cabbage, cherry tomatoes and a gorgeous huge tomato named a Mortgage Lifter. It is an heirloom variety. We have fresh beets, tomatillos, jalapenos, banana peppers, basil, jalapenos, and cucumbers. I actually took everything out of the basket and put it on my island so you can see the bounty.

Hi everyone,
One can never have too many cookbooks or at least I don’t think so. To me a good cookbook is like a story. The author had a premise based on a personal liking or experience and wants to share with others. This is especially true with this cookbook. It is authored by the Madison Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition.
Hi everyone,
Week 7 of our CSA - this summer is just flying by. It is almost the middle of August.
So sorry, but I don’t have a photo of the wonderful basket this week to share. I was a little under the weather and then had camera problems to add to it. So I assembled some of the veggies on my island counter and took this from my phone. Read the rest of this entry »

Molly’s Midtown Market Salsa
Hi everyone,
At a recent outing my husband and I took to the Midtown Global Market, we came across a Latino festival. There was great music and good food - best of all a Salsa tasting.
Chips and salsa are a favorite in our home. Read on to get a recipe for the freshest salsa I have ever had.
Hi everyone,
It was a gorgeous day at Crazy Daisy yesterday – temps were warm – 88 degrees at 4:00, low humidity and a very slight breeze. I stopped and took a really good look at the fields and was amazed. Some of the crops seem to have doubled in a week. Just amazing. The corn is will be in our baskets soon and tomatoes not far behind. Read the rest of this entry »
