CSA Week 2

Welcome to week # 2!

All is well on the farm. The cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, peppers, onions, watermelons, cantaloupes, okra, eggplant, cabbage, fenell, and other vegetables are coming along very nicely! It's really neat to see all of the plants growing so well.
On the farm there are always new challenges and blessings.

This week the rabbits and ground hogs found the lettuce and have eaten well over 100 heads, so there will not be as much lettuce as I’d like. We should have some more in a couple of weeks. The cooler weather made the broccoli head out nicely. If it gets too hot and can go to seed to quickly and ruin the heads.

In your basket you will find the following USDA Certified Organic Vegetables.

• Several Large Bunches of Broccoli
• Red Beets
• Bunch of Mustard Greens.
• Small bag of lettuce
• 1 head of Bok Choy
• 1 big bag of Purple or Green Kale
• A bunch of Radishes
• Some Small White Turnips-The greens can be cooked as well as the white root part. This variety of turnips is better small than large.
• A bunch of Basil. It has not been washed. You do not want to wet basil until right before you use it. Wetting it will make it get black spots.
• Bunch of Parsley

Looking to the future

-In 2 weeks we should have plenty of yellow and green squash, possibly cucumbers and cabbage.

-Early July the tomatoes, corn, and peppers should be ready
