The good news is that there will still be plenty, plenty, of vegetables to eat this week. I always feel a bit overwhelmed after I bring our bag of vegetables home. Pictured above in the top row is spinach and lettuce. Middle row: kale, mustard greens, mint. Beneath the mint is parsley (not discernible in the picture.) Bottom row: sunflower sprouts, cilantro, green onions, orach. To the far right is beet greens.
I picked 10 lbs of strawberries from a farm yesterday! Great idea during the picking, thinking it might have been a bit much while I was cleaning them all! I ate so many that I was too full to even try a piece of the rhubarb/strawberry pie I made! Today is a new day though and I will be trying the pie!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can see how that could be a little overwhelming, but at least you know you're getting your money's worth of food!
ReplyDeleteIs any of these vegies grown in greenhouses? I just found a CSA near here and they don't start till later in the month.
ReplyDeleteDo you manage to eat all that food. Is very much wasted.
Yes, I believe our CSA farm uses greenhouses. We do manage to eat, freeze, or dry everything. The only thing we've gotten that cannot be preserved is lettuce. And, if I cannot use it, I will give it away, so that virtually none of it is wasted. Some CSA's sell half shares and you can always find a buddy to split the cost of a full share with if you want.
ReplyDeleteCharity- We are receiving some pumpkin butter for free. Any suggestions as to how we should use it? The only thing I know of so far is toast.
