Hot Summer Recipes!
Three recipes have captured my taste buds: a recipe for "Melting Beets" that makes me salivate at the thought; my recipe for a summer sandwich that delights nearly
everyone who tries it; a recipe for Switchel--an all American drink to beat the heat. Enjoy!
Melting Beets with Mild Goat Cheese and Pistachios
INGREDIENTS:
2½ lbs. medium beets (6 to 8), trimmed, peeled and sliced 1-inch thick
2 T. extra-virgin olive oil

What's on the Menu? Weeds!
In keeping with my June newsletter article about the weeds in our allotments I am sharing two recipes I've tried and actually enjoyed: Purslane Chimichurri and Smoky, Garlicky Potatoes and Dandelion Greens. Please let us know if you try these recipes and feel free to post recipes to share with us. They need not be related to the newsletter or my post. I think good gardening goes hand-in-hand with good cooking. I look forward to reading some of our member's favorite recipes and trying some out!

It's Gonna Get HOT!
Temps up to 100 predicted over the weekend and into Monday.
What are your strategies to deal with such heat? What should we be doing to prepare? I just watered everything deeply, but I fear for my more tender crops.

I've adopted a strategy several gardeners in the South use to deal with extreme heat and that is using shade cloth. It comes in varying degrees of weave for 30%, 40% or 50% shade. My lettuces really like it and so does my Rhubarb. My peppers were sun scalded last year and I didn;t realize that is what caused the large white sections on my peppers. this year I have shade cloth to protect them. It isn't very expensive and can be re-used from year to year.

Wood cheep
We moved the wood cheep pile to gate 10.
Now you have a bigger area to plant more native plants.
