    "Sure, go to the farmers market", I said. "I need cucumbers, and I can get a nice pretzel", I said. Uh huh. Sure. 🙄😆

    Two kinds of cukes, my pretzel, some cousa squash, a few potatoes, some okra, more long beans, a melon, some tomato/corn focaccia, and a hunk of feta later . . . 😆

    Yeahhhhh! 😋

    I need to eat more beets. There's enough left to keep harvesting for the next month. Glad there's not too much more because that bed is supposed to be garlic in October. For now it's feeding me.

    Tonight they're roasted and served with grilled fresh Pacific albacore. Oh so good.

    Summer is almost over. We having saving all the labels from strawberries to determine the cultivars we like best. This season of the sweetest varieties the ones with most fragrance were Sweet Eve 2.

    I have not tried a new cultivar that gets rave reviews called Ace which debuted at Wimbledon this year. Hoping it will be in supermarkets next summer.

    This week I'm trying fermented beets (inspired by your amazing sauerkraut guidance) - my brain needs them!!!

    Tell me what you did to ferment them. When they're done, tell me how they taste! For sure there is plenty of sugar to ferment. Now that summer heat is over and I think I can easily keep my house below 75 degrees, I'm going to start a kraut. I was going to do a quick kimchi first, but the store was out of Napa so I just got a couple big cabbages. I still have a quart of kraut left from spring, but less than a pint of kimchi. As soon as there's Napa, I can get that going too.
