Greens...

OK, so around now in Massachusetts farmshare land, ya just start getting sick of greens. Especially since the strawberries have passed. I eagerly await the return of the tomatoes!

Today I picked up:

• 1 head of lettuce.
• 1/2 bag of salad mix.
• 8 stalks of especially beautiful swiss chard.
• 1 head of escarole (this is an interesting bitter green that grows in a head like lettuce, and it's fun to stuff the head with cheese, capers, and olives, and then tie up and steam).
• 1 summer squash (could not resist the pat-a-pan).
• 10 garlic scapes.
• Mix n' match! 1/2 bag of whatever I want, so I picked up bok choy, scallions, a couple beets, and a couple turnips.
• 1 pint of snow peas (pick your own, took plenty of hunting).
• 1 bunch wintermint.
• 1 bunch basil.
• 1 bunch dill.
• 3 flowers, which I squished beyond recognition by the time I got home...I need to start bringing a vase.

Luckily I managed to get to Wright's Pond to do a few laps before I went home. Tiz a good thing, to go to the farm then go for a swim.
