Ok, things are turning, growing, ready for harvest. A much improved share this week.
But first a word from our sponsor:
The above sculpture is entitled "God Explains to the Chicken Why the Chicken Can't Fly".

Another word from our sponsor (this one won't cost you anything!!!)
We are very pleased to announce that we have been accepted to start a 4-H club at the Garden of Ideas. Our focus will be on vegetable gardening, backyard chickens, and exploration of the natural world. This will be a serious commitment for interested children between the ages of 8-12. Please let me know if you are interested; we will likely hold membership to a dozen of so. This is a great organization with a long history. Benefits are impressive: http://www.4-h.org/about/youth-development-research/positive-youth-development-study/
Thanks for listening!!!!
This week's share:
Arugula--this is so insanely delicious. I eat it all day long.
Asparagus--a small handfull, so good. Keep it simple.
Spinach or baby radish. The radishes are true babies, and they and the leaves are so tender. For a treat, chop the leaves and radishes into bite size pieces, saute quickly in butter and salt and pepper. Eat.
Chives. Hope you liked them last week. We've had chive pesto everyday for a couple of weeks.
Microgreens. For newcomers, these are the nutrient laden young leaves and cotyledons of pea shoot, radishes, kale and mustard. Tangy and fresh, add them to a salad, or dress them alone and eat. Add them to sandwiches. Feel energized all day.
Ramps!!!! I've sourced a hidden spot. Dug a few for each of you. Enjoy!
More stuff coming on--beets, turnips, more asparagus, arugula, lettuce coming on fast, asian greens likely next week,younger spinach, green garlic!!!!!
Real food. Eat well.
