CSA delivery 5/19/2008
CSA offerings this week: asparagus (fresh-picked from a nearby farm), scallions (aka green onions), green garlic, lemon balm and mint.The CSA deadline came quickly. With a frost overnight Sunday into Monday I have to admit I'm lucky that the season has been too cold and wet. Last year I had tomatoes, eggplants, and peppers in the field two weeks before this date. This year they're struggling little seedlings in the greenhouse. Except the chocolate peppers (yes, a rich dark brown sweet bell pepper), which are ready to go into the ground!
Next Monday is Memorial Day so the CSA drop off will be Tuesday 5/27/2008 by 4pm at both the Reader and the Hyde Park Art Center. Looks like there will be radishes, mustard greens, kale, and sorrel. There's plenty of green garlic and a few herbs. I'll pack whatever looks best for you and can be combined in recipes.
