Elena went to the farm with me, in the rain. It had been thundering and lightening out, so the interns weren't allowed to work in the fields. In the end, six of them heroically harvested everything for the share. The put planks down in the puddles so that we could get to the shed. Ah, mud.
I usually go at the end of the share window. This time we went right at the beginning. It was just amazing to see the veggie bins piled high! Elena and I were completely drawn to the scallions, just by our noses.
This week's share:
- 20 garlic scapes.
- 6 scallions.
- 2 big bowls of salad mix, including spinach, tat soi, mustard greens, arugula, mizuna.
- 8 leaves of rainbow chard (gorgeous pink, yellow, orange).
- 2 heads of lettuce.
- 2 bowls of mix n' match, including beets, turnips, bok choy, carrots, and squash.
- 1 large, gorgeous napa cabbage that made for a great cole slaw.
- 1 pint of peas.
- A few strawberries.
- Herbs (we took mint).
