Today's Harvest

Please note: with all the rain, the slugs are out in force. Please wash and check your veggies carefully before eating to avoid any unwanted dinner guests!

Full Shares:
3 heads lettuce
6 oz lettuce mix
peas*
2 heads napa cabbage**
bunch radish
bunch collards
bunch scallions
cutting garden (New stuff this week! See below)

Small Shares:
2 heads lettuce
4 oz lettuce mix
peas*
1-2 heads napa cabbage (size dependent)**
bunch radish or daikon radish
bunch kale
cut garden (New stuff this week! See below)

* At the time of this post we are still harvesting peas so don't know yet how much everyone will get. There will be more this week than last. Also, some of you will be getting snap peas, and some of you snow peas. We keep track of this so that everyone gets the variety. Both are eaten with the pod — no need to shell.

** Napa cabbage can be eaten raw in salads and slaws, or sauteed. Please wash carefully as bugs can tuck way down in the heads.

CUTTING GARDEN:
In addition to the herbs you've been cutting, you may now start cutting some sprigs of flowers to make a small bouquet (a small handful). Cilantro is now available: you may take a small bunch (cilantro is cut straight across). You may pinch the basil. This means you can take the first cuts of the plant, snipping down to where there is nice new growth emerging. Over the next few weeks, the snipped plants will bush out and become abundant. Reminder: you may come at any point during the week to visit the cutting garden.

CUTTING GARDEN: This week there is sage, Greek oregano, chives, and parsley for cutting. Each share may cut a little of each, or two larger bunches of any two herbs listed.
There is a sign pointing into the field in the direction of the cutting garden, and each herb is labeled. You may visit the cutting garden at any time during the week. The cutting garden is located below the large black mat that you can see from our driveway.
We recommend that you bring your own snips or scissors to cut, but we will have a few pair set out for you use.

Although we wash all the vegetables that go in your bag, please wash them at home as well. There's bound to be some grit or insects/slugs that we miss when processing. It has been very wet lately so the slug population is building.
There is a sign on the cooler door that explains what you need to do to collect your share. Please read it and follow the instructions. 
This year we have an exchange crate located on the table next to the cooler. If you'd like to trade something from your bag, please do so. Enjoy!

*Garlic scapes are the curvy stems in your bag. They can be used in cooking in the same way you'd use garlic. They're one or two weeks early this year!
