Please return your empty wax box and paper berry containers!
Box Contents: 1 head of romaine lettuce, 1 head of red butterhead lettuce, 1 bunch of siberian kale, 1 bunch of garlic scapes, 1/2# of broccoli, 3 pints of strawberries.
Remember to use the exchange box if you'd like. Ask Martine at market today or Anne at Saturday market where it is.
Storage: Refrigerator for everything. Lettuces, kale, and broccoli in a bag with air squeezed out. Garlic scapes are fairly tough but will last longer if you keep them in the fridge.
The Siberian kale makes great kale chips, great massaged kale salad, and is yummy in white bean soup.
Garlic scapes are what would become the flower of the garlic plant if left on. We remove them so that the plant focuses its energy on developing the bulb. It is a happy coincidence that they are delicious! If you like to grill, try them on the grill with a little olive oil and salt and pepper brushed on. They make a great pesto. And, if you have a food processor, you can make a garlic green goddess type dressing that is a great spring treat.

Now that we are past the frost free date for this area, we are feverishly planting peppers, tomatoes, eggplant. We are preparing beds for okra and sweet potatoes. The winter squash seeds are germinating. The potatoes are making little new potatoes under the soil. Exciting times!
