CSA June 13-19

Posted 6/13/2010 7:01am by Andre Cantelmo.

Well sadly our strawberries have come and gone all too quickly. The unusual spring warmth brought them on early but also ended harvest as early as we might sometimes begin harvesting in other years. We have begun harvesting sugarsnap peas that you will find in your shares this week. One of the choices this week will be kohlrabi. For those who had kohlrabi in our winter share, this spring kohlrabi tastes a little different, somewhere between the winter sweetness and a mild turnip.
Crops are growing well, as are the weeds! As we continue to plant in earnest, we are also cultivating and setting up irrigation. The rain of late has been far from adequate for good growth. The blueberries appear to be ahead of normal and there should be zucchini, summer squash and cucumbers by the end of June or first week of July. Enjoy this weeks share:
