 Week 2

This Tuesday is opening day of the the Chehalis market.  With a high of 87 predicted it is hard to know what to expect.  Washingtonions can be counted on to come out in some drizzle to get vegetables, but I have a feeling that the afternoon might be pretty quiet on an 87 degree day on a downtown street.   We hope to get peppers in the field on Monday, kill mad weeds on Tuesday while Kelly is at market and then get our winter squash in on Wednesday and Thursday.  The field zucchinis, cucumbers and tomatoes should all handle the heat well and with last weeks rain I am expecting to see lots of growth this week.  Your peas last week were from a hoop house but we should be getting into the field planting this week.  They won't love the heat but it won't be around for long.  

Head Lettuce - Either a red butter lettuce or a green oak leaf - both have a similar texture

Radishes - Don't like radishes?  Consider roasting or sauteing them.  I usually cut them in half or quarters and go about 15 minutes at around 425. They are still pretty firm at that point which is how I like them, but you may wish to cook them several more minutes.

Broccoli

Kale 

Zucchini - These are out of a hoop house and I think with the warm weather we should have enough for everybody.  If not some of Thursdays pick up may get peas instead and zukes next week.

Carrots - Small, but yummy

Salad Mix - Large Only

Cilantro - Large Only
