Week 3
Here are some of the
items you may be receiving in your delivery this week: Lovage, Assorted Head
Lettuce, Hakuri Turnips with tops, Pac Choy, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Red Kitten
Spinach, Easter Egg Radishes, Beet Greens and Thyme
A vibrant green basket
this week. The Turnips are wonderful sliced up raw or steamed. Their tops are
nice chopped and sautéed with some onion over rice. One tip for the beet greens
is to put them into a bowl of water as they sometimes need a really good rinse
before cooking. Maybe try the fresh thyme on the cooked beet greens with some
balsamic vinegar. If you are able to resist eating all the radishes raw, you
could try little tea sandwiches of perhaps sourdough bread with butter, topped
with slivers of radish and thyme.
It was an incredible
week of temperatures hitting very high digits and then promptly dropping down
to a frost warning. Everything has needed constant watering and the pallet
supports we built for the winter squash were taken for a ride by the wind last
night. I’ll be anchoring them with some rebar this week. Also the greenhouse
continues it’s transition over to heat loving plants including Tomatoes,
Cucumbers, Melons, Eggplant and Peppers.
Here are a couple pictures of our new
chickens enjoying their new home.
If you have any questions please feel
free to contact me.
Your Farmer,
Amber
