Finally, just in time for the first CSA day, some warm weather. It's been as consistently cold a March and April as I can recall, and until a few days ago, I thought for sure we'd have to postpone the first day...but here we go!!! Note to self: when the sun don't shine, hoop houses ain't warm!
This first week is a tad lighter than I would like, but we'll make it up in coming weeks. The asparagus just popped it's head out of the ground a couple of days ago!!!! That's the latest ever.
This week, enjoy tender vegetables packed with taste. Taste!!!! The only tasty vegetables we eat all winter are ones we froze or canned last year.
This week you can choose six out of the following seven items: arugula! spinach! pea shoots! radish/kale microgreens! chives! French sorrel! parsnips (overwintered in the field--very sweet!).
Everything is very tender and delicious--use with minimal alteration. The chives, sorrel, pea shoots, and arugula all make wonderful pestos.
In the next couple of weeks we'll have asparagus (it comes on fast!), radishes, baby beets, and baby turnips, and of course, plenty of greens, including what we have this week, and also lettuce mixes, asian greens, and mustards.
Please take time to walk through the garden! Thousands of daffodils are blooming.
We have Water Buffalo yogurt, blue cheese, Red Jacket juices, beans and polenta, and honey at the farm stand.
See you tomorrow!
