Week 6 of Spring CSA!!!!!


Goodbye spring, hello summer!  Another wild and wooly season passes on in fitting style--we go from rain and 39 degrees on Sunday morning to sun and near 90 on Saturday!

Thanks for your patience this spring...even the hoop houses were of little help this cold early spring, though they proved indispensable during the deluges;  I will try to add 2 more for next spring.

Another interesting NY Times piece this past Sunday: Veggies are losing nutritional value.  Notice the high marks achieved by arugula--it and other vaguely bitter leafy greens (like all the asian greens we've been offering) have not been tampered with through the ages--their nutritional values remain intact.  Likewise the timeworn heirlooms, like our black seeded simpson lettuce, declared an heirloom back in the 1850's!!!! 

Much to choose from this week; from the following, choose 7:

Asparagus (K-Z ONLY!!!!!!!!)
Black Seeded Simpson Lettuce
Arugula
Green Kale (first cutting, not a whole lot)
Semposai
Lettuce-like Mustard (mild, with the crispness of romaine lettuce)
Parsley (some, first cutting)
chives
French sorrel (red variety)
radishes (last of the reds!!!)
Head of lettuce
Tokyo Bekana (another slightly spicy asian green)
Rhubarb!!!! (Getting near the last of it...)

Please let me know if you can't make it tomorrow so I can keep track of inventory.   Thanks to all spring only folks!!!!!!! Hope you come back next year!!!!!  Keep up with us on Facebook!
