Week 4

I forgot to post week four and five. So....

Hi CSA'ers,

Week four is here and away we go!

A couple of new and different items this week. Some of our romaine lettuce has now grown into heads, so you will be getting a head and also a bag of another variety of Romaine leaf lettuce. Our salad mix lettuce is slow coming due to the warmer weather last week. New arugula has been planted and should be ready in three to four weeks.

This is your first week with Swiss chard. Chard is used a lot in Mediterranean cooking and is one of the healthiest greens. This week you get the plain green chard. Next week you should get the "bright lights" chard. It's beautiful with a multitude of different colored stems. Cabbage is a new addition this week. Not a lot to say about it....it's cabbage. We are also throwing in what I will call a "herb medley". It's 2 or 3 stalks of various herbs from the herb garden. Could be oregano, basil, curly parsley, Italian parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme (start singing here) tarragon, lemon thyme etc. We will let you know what you have when you pick up.

Our blueberries are ripening each day and are ready to pick. You guys get first dibs on picking tomorrow. Your share will include a pint of pick your own blueberries. More are available at $4 per pound.
