We're moving into late spring, thinking about frost free dates and tomato planting. May's full moon (this year on the 17th) often marks a cold snap; that's the date we have in mind as we evaluate the ten day forecast and consider when to begin planting warm-weather loving crops like cucumbers and squash and beans. Good thoughts on these beautiful days.
Spring is a lot about leafy greens - things that can withstand cool temperatures and produce a crop quickly. And a little about items that have held well in storage - like some apples.
This week's share is a good one:
1) one bag baby spinach: The variety is Corvair, a smooth-leaved variety with excellent taste.
2) one bunch purple haze pencil carrots with tops: Savor these babies. Possibly steamed whole with a little butter? For best, storage, remove tops promptly and keep in plastic bag.
3) one bottle Joe's Summer Blend juice: from Red Jacket Orchards. A very refreshing lemony apple blend.
4) one bunch cherrybelle radishes: spring 'tis the season for radishes! Remove tops and store in plastic bag to retain freshness.
5) one bag springalicious salad mix: a mixed lettuces blend
6) one bunch asparagus: grown by Pedersen Farms in New York state. certified organic. Amazing!
7) three Crispin apples: It seems you folks can't get enough of these. From Red Jacket Orchards in Geneva, NY.
Enjoy! See you tomorrow!
