Sometimes those closest to us are our worst enemies. Betrayal is difficult to handle, but especially when done by our own family members. I hate to write about this – seems almost like I’m airing some dirty laundry about Lida Farm – but I can’t keep this to myself. It’s just too emotionally distressing to hold in, trust broken.
Whenever sweet corn stalks are busted down and cobs are torn off, the usual suspects have masks and do their work at night – racoons.
At first sight of the husks thrown all over the farm, I suspected these little robbers myself. But I didn’t suspect Miso, the family dog! Clearly addicted to the sweet smell of the cob, he can’t last even a half day without his fix. It’s sad, really, what he’s come to, stealing from his own family to feed his habit.
In the box:
- Watermelon: These varieties are very hard to tell apart this year….maybe pink, yellow, or orange. Any should be good.
- Montauk Sweet Corn: This is our longest-season corn (81 days). I think the best.
- Yellow Beans
- Radishes
- Salad Mix
- Garlic
- Sweet onions
- Tomatoes
- Green Pepper
- A Couple Poblano Peppers – These have heat. They are the dark, dark green ones.
- Cantaloupe
