I talked to the farmer at The Food Project, and she said this spring was cold and dry "which isn't good for growing anything!" Last June was warm and rainy, so I was a little surprised at the first share this year. I picked up:
- 2 heads of lettuce (different varieties)
- 5 parsnips (which had been in the ground all winter)
- mint
- sage
Elena and I have been making lettuce salads all week, with sweet vadalia onion dressing. I have no idea what to do with sage.
Oddly enough, Elena and I both had dreams about parsnips the day after the share. Shaped like a carrot, parsnips have a slightly sweet flavor to them and taste great steamed or in soup. I made a meat and parsnip stew when I got my meat share.
It rained for two days this week, and we're in the middle of 3 days of 90-degree weather, so my hopes are up for my veggies in future weeks.

Oh, I used some sage. I put it into that beef and veggie stirfry.
Also! I really like thyme. If thyme is an option, could you get some?
I can check for thyme on Tuesday.
