No photo from last weekend’s share - Naomi picked it up for me as I was competing at the Mercer Lake Dragon Boat Festival (thanks again, Naomi).  But there were about half a dozen tomatoes, two bell peppers, a butternut squash, pears, cabbage, and - I think - spinach.  Honestly, I haven’t even so much as looked at most of it: I got hit with the plague that’s going around and have been down for the count for a few days.

Still a little woozy, Mr. Fish picked up the share this morning.

Here’s what’s in it:

Two watermelons
Two bundles of lacinato kale
A few handfuls of green beans
Two cabbages
Two bags of spinach
Eight pears
Five garilc
Two small eggplants

As you might be able to tell from the photo, the pears are in a rapidly decaying state.  Luckily, I’m feeling well enough to try to deal with the pears.  That also leaves the watermelon, though.  I now have four watermelons because I never did anything with last ones I got.  It’s going to be a busy weekend.
