Further Shameless Pandering to the Press by Summit Springs Farm, Maine

Apparently earmuffs were invented by a Mainiac but those are not needed at the mo' in the rain-soaked state. Our favorite Down East farm couple, John and Sonya, are working long days to bring produce to the vegetable-deprived of urban Maine.  Watch Sonya unveil the current CSA offering in the latest videogram from local tv reporter Sharon Rose of WCSH.

The variety will have an effect on the garlic's flavor and intensity as well. I'm used to what we grew at Riverbank which, if I remember correctly, is called "german extra hardy". We're trying about four different varieties here at SSF this year.

Yum---have been buying locally-grown garlic at our nearby farmers market the last two Sundays. And am now curious as to when "new" garlic begins having the intensity of flavor I like. It seems a tad bland right now--on the other hand, when I finished my pasta lunch and was heading out to interact with the world, I felt the need to gargle with mouthwash, just in case! Will now investigate new vs older garlic.........

It's coming along great. We just ate & distributed the last of the garlic scapes and are waiting on the bulbs to mature. It looks like a couple varieties are not sizing up too well but most are quite large.

Speaking of free, how's my garlic coming along??
