<\/a><\/div>\nSUGARSNAP PEAS F\/P If you are new to these, pinch off the stem and pop the pod in your mouth. <\/p>\n
BROCCOLI F\/P Whoa, nelly! The Spring broccoli crop is off the charts! Everyone gets a good amount, full shares more than partials. If you want to freeze some for later, order off of the bulk list as it won’t be around much longer. <\/p>\n
STRAWBERRIES F\/P The patch is loaded with more berries than we can pick. We will be opening the patch for U-pick for this coming weekend if not sooner. An email will go out soon with more info.<\/p>\n
LETTUCE F2\/P The butterheads are heading out, but the leaf lettuce and romaines are holding for awhile longer.<\/p>\n
GARLIC SCAPES F\/P They only appear once a year! See Tom’s post for thoughts on uses. <\/p>\n
KOHLRABI F2\/P1 I think one trick with kohlrabi, turnips and other mustardy root-type vegetables like radishes is to not let them dry out after cutting them. They are great raw, but must be eaten immediately after being chopped before they get dehydrated and bitter. Or store them chopped up in a bowl of water.<\/p>\n
PARSLEY, OREGANO or GREEN ONION F\/P A sprig for the partials, larger bunches for the full shares.<\/p>\n
HAKUREI TURNIPS F\/P Not your grandmother’s turnip, these are sweet and juicy and best eaten raw or lightly cooked.<\/p>\n
NEXT WEEK: More lettuce, broccoli, turnips, peas and greens. Perhaps the first zucchini and baby beets.<\/p>\n
FARM REPORT:<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThe farm is bursting with crops for harvest. The strawberries continue to ripen while we harvest hundreds of pounds of broccoli. The lettuces response to the heat is to all be ready at once and the turnips and kohlrabi are begging to be picked. Thank you to those who have time to come out to help with the harvest tomorrow. <\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\nThe fields are glowing in shades of green thanks to a little over an inch of rain last week. It came at a good time as we were starting to be concerned with the peas, onions and other early crops that we usually don’t need to irrigate. Instead we could turn our attention from irrigation to the crops and the weeds that are growing vigorously. <\/p>\n
