Today was an epic workday. We had many helping hands working with us in the fields, and accomplished a ton! Thankfully
we had an antique transistor radio that picks up about three stations, so we could listen to Michael Jackson marathons all day while we hoed, weeded and mulched our onion beds, and harvested all the goodies for tomorrow's share.
Thankfully also there's been sprinkles of sunshine here and there, but in fact not quite enough to satiate my desires or the wants of summer fruits. But still, I pray, and obsessively check the weather. If any of you all are as interested in the weather as I am, I just discovered a new and very awesome site: accuweather.com. It is really detailed and thourough and will sastisfy any of you other weather nerds out there.
Recipes! We have added a recipe page on our website: scratchfarm.com. There are some great ones up there already. And PLEASE, if you have any great CSA veggie inspired recipes, send them to Michael (michael.krushinsky@gmail.com).
I think tomorrow's share is the best yet, you can look forward to:
peas: lots of 'em!
beets!: chioggia and red turnip rooted variety (these boys are tender and tasty, try boiling them and making a mustard
based vinaigrette with chopped fresh herbs and diced onions to pour over them. also try roasting them)
onions!: purplette mini bunching onions. I'm pretty sure these are the sweetest most delicious onions i have ever had.
please just saute/fry them and throw them on top of something you're eating. make sure they don't get lost in a
soup or something)
cooking greens mix: napa leaves, chard, kale mix
herbs
garlic scapes
lettuce heads: tired of the salad mix? how bout lettuce in it's purest form, the whole head! oakleaf, red leaf, romaine, red butterhead, speckled butterhead
