The forsythia blossoms are fading. Now the cherries and magnolias take center stage. We recently witnessed an amazing frog orgy and continue to appreciate the presence of a pair of nesting wood ducks in our marsh. It is middle spring.
This week we planted onions: red zeppelin, white spanish, and cippolini. The seed potatoes are in the basement waiting for attention. There are weeds to pull and areas to till and daffodils to smell.
In this week's share:
1) one bag springalicious salad mix: a mix of red and green buttery baby lettuces.
2) one bag baby astro arugula
3) one bottle apricot stomp juice: from Red Jacket Orchards in Geneva, NY. Their 100% fruit juices are pressed on the orchard using time honored methods that capture the fruit’s true essence and flavor. Cold pressed and unfiltered, these juices provide a good source of fiber and are 50-80% more effective as an antioxidant than clear apple juice.Their “secret” to making deliciously fresh juice is to keep it simple by simply pressing whole fruit and adding little else.
4) one bunch chives
5) one bag baby kale: variety is red russian. Recipe below.
6) half gallon 2% Arethusa Dairy milk: this is a great dairy in Litchfield.
7) one box pea shoots: this is our first microgreens crop! A great success in our minds. Delicious raw or wilted. Recipes below.
