Week 5
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Mustard Greens, Shanghi Bok Choy, Red
Kitten Spinach, Rainbow Swiss Chard, “Ella Kropf” Head Lettuce, “Bunte
Forellenschuss” Head Lettuce and Basil
Hello Everyone,
This week brings Swiss Chard which is
bouncing back from the hail storm earlier this month. Mustard Greens, a more
delicate green with a lighter taste. Plus delicious Shanghi Bok Choy. All 3 are
usually best sautéed.
Along with these are wonderful salad
greens and basil from the greenhouse. Two types of basil including Purple Dark
Opal and Genovese.
This week the transition in the
greenhouse to hot weather plants continues. All of the remaining cool weather
and strong crops are moving up to the field and the tomatoes, pepper and
cucumbers are taking up residence in the warm greenhouse beds. We already have
some flowers on the tomatoes!
Meat birds will be available on July
18. Over half have been presold so please get your order in ASAP! They are
$4.50/lb and most are usually in the range of 6-8lbs each.
I hope all of you have a wonderful
week!
Your Farmer,
Amber
