I snapped a few pictures this week before the CSA boxes went out. The veggies are turning out beautiful. Last week we got a comment that one of the CSA members didn't want to eat her lettuce because it was so pretty. The only editing done to the pictures is cropping. We scaled down the number of shares this year, so it is a small number to assist in gaining experience without adding that overwhelmed we-are-trying-to-do-everything-sustainable-in-one-year feeling . . .
Radishes and beets. Zoe put a lot of hard work into weeding the lambs quarters out of the beets so that they could get their sunlight.
Chives
We have a few varieties of lettuce going. I only snapped pictures of two.
Green onions
Flower bouquets are part of the CSA as well. The sunflowers have really taken off this year. There were a lot of herbs this week. We included mint and spearmint too. Mint is very self-sufficient as a plant and is very happily spreading this year. We planned a mojito night last week to use up a bunch of the mint. I also enjoy adding mint leaves to ice-cube trays before freezing. Zoe made watermelon mint granita . . . m m m m mmmm
