What’s in the Box?
We have SO MUCH LETTUCE. There is always a moment or two in the spring where multiple plantings come ready at once, and that moment has arrived. Enjoy your romaine in a classic Caesar, your butterhead (boston) with a honey mustard vinaigrette , or fall in love with little gems- they make awesome lettuce wraps.
If you haven't tried kohlrabi, it makes a great snack. I peel mine and eat it with slices of cheddar cheese.
Our spring fennel is ready to add a hint of anise to your meals, and our abundant dill and mint are here to make everything taste fresh and lovely.
It's a truly beautiful time of year to be eating from the garden.

On the Farm

We planted nearly a 1/4 acre of cucurbits, a huge undertaking for our small farm. This plant family includes zucchini, watermelon, canteloupe and winter squash (among others). We spread tons of compost, put down black landscape fabric, planted and then covered everything with insect netting to protect against cucumber beetle.
Then we got a good hard rain, a series of good hard rains actually. Everything is extremely well watered and I'm hoping we get a break soon as I am starting to see signs of fungus and I'd really like to get the rest of our sweet potatoes in.
That’s all for now, happy eating until next time,
Farmer Tamara
