Week 4


Surprise!  When we picked the yellow snow peas we discovered one purple snow pea plant in with the yellow snow peas.  We are going to let the pods mature so we can save the seed.

Lettuce - A nice assortment of baby head lettuces
Carrots - We started pulling carrots from our second planting of carrots this week.  We seed carrots seven times during the summer to make sure we have them until we close the stand in November.  You will notice they are a bit smaller than last week's carrots.
Radishes - Pink beauty is the variety.
Cilantro - If you detest cilantro we will have some flat leaf parsley on hand for you instead.
Snow Peas - A mix of green and yellow - most people think snow peas taste best cooked.
Strawberries
Raspberries
Garlic - This garlic has not been cured.  Use it the same way you use cured garlic but you need to make sure you keep it out on the counter or some place where there is a bit of air circulation.  It has so much moisture in it that it might mold otherwise.
Cauliflower or Broccoli - Kelly is cutting these right now so we will see how it works out.  The plan is that if you receive broccoli this week you will get cauliflower next week and vice versa.
Basil - Large Share Only
Summer Turnip - Large Share Only

Let us know what you think of the yellow snow peas.  We both have an opinion (we always do) about how it looks, how it picks, how it tastes and how it compares to the green one but your opinion counts too.  Your feedback will help us decide if we should grow it again.
