Fourth pickup at the CSA. It’s getting hard to carry it all!
The bags are bulging and new vegetables are entering the scene.
First, I can now enjoy fresh broccoli. There really is no comparison to store bought. It almost seems as if the broccoli in the supermarket is a different vegetable all together. The CSA broccoli begs to be eaten raw, it is so tender. The self pick now is picking up. This week I picked two pints of sugar snap peas, and just how a little boy described it who was eagerly helping his mother pick: ”This tastes better than candy!”
Also the aforementioned strawberries are awesome - two quarts worth was today’s yield. I have begun giving friends a head of lettuce or chinese cabbage here and there, so that it can be enjoyed at peak freshness - this acts like advertising for the CSA! And it should!
The list:
4 heads Lettuce $5.58 (2 per share plus two from the extras table)
1 pound Broccoli $1.49
1 pound Spinach $2.49
2 heads Chinese Cabbage 6.36
3 heads Escarole (2 per share plus 1 extra) 5.07
2 bunches Scallions $5.98
2 pints sugar snap peas $4.99
2 heads bok choy $5.58
2 quarts strawberries $5.00
1 bunch oregano $1.99
1 bunch garlic chives $1.99
1 bunch thyme $1.99
1 bunch mint $1.99
1 bunch sorrel $1.99
1 bunch lemon balm $1.99
1 bunch lovage $1.99
1 bunch sage $1.99
1 bunch lavender $1.99
1 bunch chamomile $1.99
Total this week: $ 62.44
So we can add $ 62.44 to our prior total of $161.22.
Our new grand total for the season is $ 223.66. Not bad for one month!
