I caught the flu this weekend but I'm feeling better now. Not well enough yet for my normal routine of going out for a beer to write the blog (we don't have internet at home). So I am writing this from my phone and I'll keep it brief! Forgive typos please!
Strawberries will be back in the shares next week I hope.. They are just beginning their second flush and i want sure if we'd have enough for this week..
In both shares this week:
New potatoes! These red skinned beauties are dug from the still growing plants. The skin is thin and delicate and they won't keep as well as storage spuds, but they taste great and cook up a bit faster. More spuds in the larger shares.
Turnips - the delicious hakurei turnips will be making another appearance.
Carrots -. The carrots keep getting bigger each week!
Lettuce- what nice heads of lettuce this year! This time last year we had barely any lettuce thanks to some pesky deer getting in our field. We beefed up fencing and haven't had a problem since!
Walla wallas- more tasty sweet onions. The other onions are growing fast, so next time we'll have a different variety in the share for you.
Swiss chard- a nice colorful braising green bunch!
Garlic- we continue to work at bringing our garlic in to dry, one variety at a time. This is more of the Xi'an, our earliest variety with pretty purple stripes
And in the larger shares only:
Broccoli- broccoli is back in the large shares!
Basil- this will be our very first pick on the earliest basil plants. Pasta primavera!
Zucchini- as the summer squash plants ramp up its working out great to put them in only some of the shares each week. Should be up to our ears in it soon though, and hopefully cucumbers too, which have been a bit slower to get going this year.
