Week 10

20120731-153445.jpg

Two kinds of peaches-summer lady and elberta. Fire sweet and fire pearl nectarines. The plums are fortune and satsuma.

There are only two more weeks of summer fruits. Many of the local peaches are done for the season. I’m going to miss these treats. The grapes are beginning to come to market, along with figs. The Valley has a big fig celebration next week in honor of this ancient fruit still grown here.

Middle of the summer

This is Box 6 of our summer fruit subscription. Since there will be 12 boxes, this is the middle.

There are three plum varieties in this assortment, along with one peach variety and one type of nectarine that we’ve had before.

The nectarines are very ripe so we are quickly devouring them.

As in peaches and nectarines. This is Week 3 of the csa fruit boxes Sadly, there are only three pluots, and the note says it’s the last of that variety. This variety has dark red flesh and tastes like a Santa Rosa plum of yesteryear that I remember as a child.
