The first week was a good one compared to last year as the weather has been so much warmer and drier than last year. Hope you enjoyed the veggies. Here is what we distributed:
- A nice bunch of chard
- A bag of spinach - good for salads
- A bag of lettuce - pretty tasty
- A bunch of carrots. Hope you enjoy them - they were planted January 9th in the small hoop. It might be a few weeks before we get carrots again. I often wash them and scrub them instead of peeling so that I don't waste the carrot.
- A pint of peas (either shelling peas or sugar snaps) or a quart of fava bean shoots. The peas are best raw. The fava shoots are tasty if you cook them until soft - I saute in oil and salt and add water to steam. It takes a while to cook - maybe 15 minutes.
- A bunch of arugula - this is good raw as a snack or in a salad or saute. One of the highest in protein of greens. The buds and flowers are a special treat - kind of nutty.
- A bunch of mustard - if you still have the arugula and mustard, try mixing into a pesto with a little oil and salt. It's tasty on sandwiches or as a side with eggs or on pasta.
- A bunch of green onions. These are actually immature bulbing onions and are very tasty. You can eat the whole thing.
- A bunch of cilantro.
- Some thyme, oregano, chives and sage.
