Today's Harvest:

Full Shares —
5 oz mesclun*
8 oz braising greens*
bunch salad turnip**
bunch kale
bunch garlic scapes#
1-2 heads lettuce
cutting garden (see below)

Small Shares —
4 oz mesclun*
4 oz braising greens*
small bunch salad turnip
bunch kale
small bunch garlic scapes#
cutting garden (see below)

*Both the mesclun and the braising greens can be eaten raw or braised. To distinguish, the braising mix has more large rounded leaves in it, while the mesclun has more jagged leaves. Both mixes contain various mustards, arugula, kale and Asian greens. We tried a new mix this year and thought it was dominated by a few particular varieties so we're going to amend that next sowing.

**Salad turnips can be sliced thin and eaten raw like a radish, or sautéed. They are very nice sautéed with butter!

#Garlic scapes can be used like garlic, though have milder flavor. They are delicious sautéed with greens.

CUTTING GARDEN: You may cut some sprigs of any of the perennial herbs as well as parsley. The herbs are in the middle of the field past the big black mat and the stand of raspberries. (Follow the arrows). Don't forget your snips! We have chives, oregano, sage, lemon balm and thyme in the perennial beds.
