Another week flew right by. The onions are all planted after a few rain delays. It feels great to get this big task done. 1000’s are in and some fun varieties too. A great audiobook kept me company as I made my way down the rows.

We had some weekend helpers get the final details in the garden set. The walkways between the rows covered and the trellis went up for the cucumbers. It’s looking pretty snazzy all around.

Another row of beans seeded in and kohlrabi, dill, and several rotations of lettuce went in the ground. Next week is the big tomato plant. Looking forward to getting these beauties in the ground.

SPRING SHARE #3

WHAT IS IN YOUR SHARE-head lettuce 2 varieties, turnips, arugula, baby kale mix, spinach, pac choi

Head lettuce-2 varieties. Sweet and flavorful. 1 crunchy full-sized had and a juicy dark mini head. This is the season of colorful and delicious salads.

Arugula-The 1st arugula harvest of the season. Cut small. Snappy and robust flavor. Adds some zip to your salads or saute and enjoy as a warm side at dinner.

Baby kale mix-An assortment of kale varieties in the mix. We like it best wilted down a bit and a shake of soysauce. Also fantastic juiced! OR a great addition to your fresh salads.

Spinach-Spring Spinach is the best. Thick flavorful leaves. We offered some to a friend and they said “What is this-It’s amazing!” When we told them it was spinach they were in disbelief-they only had ever had grocery store spinach. They marveled at the difference.

Pac choi-The Pac Choi harvest is a little crazy! We have a fantastic yield this spring on all varieties. I’m about pac choi’d out! Enjoy this 1 final spring harvest. Raw, saute, charred, or juice the flavor is delicious.

Turnips-The last of these Spring delights. Long storage life in the refrigerator. In our opinion raw is best but they roast up wonderfully in the oven.

BEST GUESS FOR NEXT WEEK-Baby leaf lettuce, kohlrabi!, basil plant, head lettuce, radishes, and more.

Next week will be the Final Spring Share of the season. We will take a 2-week break to let the outside gardens catch up and start up the Summer Season.
