As summer begins, farmers are tracking two big threats to both gardens and local farms.

 

LATE BLIGHT

First, who can forget late blight? If you were here two summers ago, you remember your tomato plants dying in the middle of the night and a disappointing dearth of August's best harvest in the market.

Cooperating with nature

Pan Roasted Fenugreek Flatbreads

There are a lot of traditional Indian vegetables and herbs that do grow in the Hudson Valley although I have to confess that they often need extra care and then there is the hunt for seeds, so for the most part we do not fuss with the vegetables, then there are things like fenugreek that honestly are not…

Meggyleves! Hungarian Sour Cherry Soup

This has become one of my favorite summer-time treats.  I planted a Montmorency cherry tree when I moved in to my house about 5 years ago, and the past couple of years it's yielded a very nice crop of cherries.
