Can you guys BELIEVE it?! Our first pick-up for 2012 is April 24. APRIL 24! Good golly. This time last year, I swear, we were just getting things into the ground--mainly because of 14 inches of rain over about two days that completely waterlogged the field. And here we are, with a ginormous harvest for our first pick-up. Just awesome!
So, let's get to the numbers--
PICK-UP TOTALS FOR APRIL 24
Pak Choi - 23 lbs
Komatsuna - 4 lbs
Tatsoi - 5 lbs
Radishes - 9.5 lbs
Mustard - 7.5 lbs
Spinach - 14 lbs (!)
Lettuce Micro Mix - 8lbs
Arugula - 5 lbs
Collards - 19 lbs
GRAND TOTAL - 96 lbs
Jeeeeeeeeesh! Almost a one hundred pound harvest--ON APRIL 24. This all broke down to about ten pounds of produce for the each of you. Gee willikins!
Now, I know I promised you some recipes, but I am BEAT. We got up and started picking by 6:30 this morning (did we mention that we pick all of your shares the morning of pick-ups? Find THAT in a grocery store!), worked through the day, ended shares at 7, cleaned up for about an hour, went out to grab a quick eat, came home and showered and then I sat down to write this. Boy am I BUSHED. So, I'm going to wait til the morning to post recipes. In the mean while, just know that, basically, a green is a green is a green--they are all delicious in salads, nothing in your share HAS to be cooked to be great, but you can't fail with a wilted greens salad or by throwing them in a pasta with a simple sauce. Mm-mm!
So, kids--I'll be back tomorrow with recipes, fingers crossed!
Happy eating!
