WHAT'S GROWING ON
Spring greens give way to some heavier crops like kohlrabi and cabbages. Kohlrabi is an alien-looking bulb that is popular in Europe. Peel away the purple skin and slice the white bulb to eat raw with dip or lightly sautee or grill. Don't overcook a kohlrabi! They are best raw. Kohlrabi leaves are good for cooking. We have a couple small harvests of them coming along. We are harvesting napa cabbages and round green cabbages as they size up in the garden. We store them for the weeks to come. Try some interesting slaw flavors, like asian slaw or curry slaw. Make farm chi!
FARM HANDS DAYS: SWEET POTATO PLANTING JUNE 15 and 16 during CSA Pickups.
Sometimes I'll offer up a "Farm Hands Day". These are invitations to help grow the crops that feed you. You might be planting or harvesting. You'll learn a lot along the way! Next up is sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes grow from a sprout that shoots off of a planted sweet potato and its called a slip. We'll be planting sweet potato slips during the Thurs June 15 and Fri June 16 pickups. We'll keep you posted. Good job for all ages. Join us!

HOW TO RINSE YOUR GREENS
If there are little garden aphids or a slug on your greens, remember that it’s straight from the garden and that bugs are better than chemicals. Sometimes they make it home with you. Just give the greens a generous rinse or three. Use a big bowl with room for leaves to float. Add a little salt to the water. Rinse several times if necessary.
