CSA Week Six

News from the field:

Hail. You probably heard that a tornado touched down in Barnet. We did not get that but we did get a big dose of hail. Things look pretty bad up there right now. We may lose a whole generation of mesclun, corn is flattened, winter squash and melons are in tough shape. Photos in post below if you want to see.

Kat (our lead employee and housemate) is more optimistic, she says a few days of sun and things will spring back up. (Kat rocks!) We will have to wait and see.

p.s. I am sneaking this in while Peter is not looking. Wednesday is his birthday!! Wish him happy birthday if you see him!!

In the Basket:

New this week: Dandelion greens! Dandelion greens are a tender cooking green which means you can treat them like spinach. There’s a good recipe on the back.

Seasonal visitors: Colored peppers, carrots, broccoli.

Basket staples: Mesclun, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Good eating to you!!
