Hungry Hollow Happenings: September 2023

While Labor Day may mark an end of summer for some, we generally look towards the crops to let us know when seasons end. September is a transitional period where summer and fall blend together, the seasonal crops and activities overlapping. Whether it’s “late summer” or “early fall,” the between time is full of excitement as we begin harvesting winter squash (also known as hard squash), officially finish with watermelon (but then continue to bring in smaller harvests from our grafted plants that are still somehow looking great), continue on with harvesting tomatoes (while starting to take down early plantings), and begin planting for fall (true fall, that is).

About a month behind schedule, our asparagus harvest began in late March and is still underway. We hope you’ve been able to enjoy some of this spring treat, now possibly paired with peas! Our sugar snap pea harvest is just now starting! It’s a little later than usual for us due to planting late and cool spring growing conditions.

Fresh Asparagus & Celery Salad

This salad is a delightfully refreshing spring treat. Both the asparagus and celery are kept raw - enhanced by sweet almonds, zingy lemon juice, and fresh mint. It comes together very quickly, but delivers a lot of flavor! Simple food for big flavor. The cheese is optional, but highly recommended.
