CSA Pickup: Week 2

This week we got

garlic scapes (GLORY HALLELUJIAH!)
lettuce
spinach
basil

Things are looking a little light this year, because of the terrible, rainy weather this year. (A little hail even hit the garden at one point.)

CSA 2011 Week 1

Our first pickup:
8 garlics
4 radishes
1.4 lbs spinach
1.4 lbs mixed lettuce

The eggs aren't actually part of the share - I purchased them separately and will be picking them up at Grailville on the same day as produce pickup.

Today's Pickup

This was our pickup from the CSA today. Quantities are to the best of my recollection, which isn't all that good!

1/4 lb kale
1 lb lettuce
2 lb spinach
1 lb rhubarb
12 garlic scapes
6 radishes
1/4 lb snow peas

Farm Time

As the school year winds down, it's time to start up the summer routine. I went to the gym this morning, took Jeremy to Sandtray this afternoon, and took the boys to Susie's pool after school. Then, it was time to head over to the CSA for my first Tuesday work session. Despite the hot weather, it was good to get back to the garden. Pulling weeds can be very therapeutic!

Back to the Farmyard

I joyfully spent Tuesday night (7/28) back at the CSA garden. Two and three quarter hours weeding and planting and just being away again. I missed being in the fields! They'll turn me into a farmer yet!

The Good Earth

Friday, I got to dig in the dirt againg. For the first time this year, I worked at the CSA. We planted tomatoes and lettuce. I can't wait for the first pickup!

Bounty

Once again, we've had a great pickup at the CSA. Yesterday we got:

6 pounds tomatoes!
2 pounds peppers
1/2 pound swiss chard
1/2 pound lettuce greens
1 green cabbage
2 red cabbages
1 pattypan squash
1 pound beets
basil
parsley
3/4 pounds broccoli

Wow!
