CSA Weeks 3 & 4

I can't believe I have already gotten my 4th CSA share of the summer! It doesn't seem possible...probably because of the rain, but in any case, I am getting yummy fresh veggies each week. It has been mostly greens, which is good, I will eat them while they are available. I know that once the sun comes out (and the heat as well) all the greens will go away.

So for week 3 we received:

beet greens
green lettuce
spinach
spicy lettuce mix
radishes
kale
carrots
cilantro
dill

I did take pictures, but they are on my camera's internal memory, and I don't have the wire to upload the pictures right now ;-) I will try to remember to do that at some point!

Then on Monday we received:

napa cabbage
another type of cabbage
green lettuce
red lettuce (you can't see it in the picture)
beets/beet greens
scallions

I was going to pick herbs, but it was pouring, so I opted not to this time. Hopefully next week it won't be raining...but...well it has been raining everyday for the past 2 weeks...so we'll see.

In other garden news, my garden surprisingly seems to be doing ok despite all the rain. My peppers and tomatoes are flowering, the potatoes seem to be growing well...at least the leaves are, no flowers yet. I have flour corn growing well, and watermelon. I do have a squirrel problem though...he ate all my green bean plants, canteloupe, and cilantro...jerk. So I don't know what I will do. I was thinking I might try and go to the greenhouse and see if they have any seedlings left, and plant where the squirrel ate the other stuff, not sure how that will work though. I was definitely bummed about the green beans. The cilantro...well I have another plant in a pot, so I am not concerned really. Let's just hope he doesn't start eating my peppers when they start to grow! Otherwise I may have to get a BB gun...

Onto pictures...
