First Charlestown Farm CSA Pickup
Wednesday, May 27, 2009
Yesterday was the first pick up for Charlestown Farm’s CSA. The ‘box’ included 1/4 lb Asian greens, 1/4 arugula, 1/2 lb mixed loose leaf lettuce, 1 head of butter lettuce, and 1 1/2 quarts of fresh strawberries. The U-Pick items included mint (there’s two bunches of chocolate mint in the front of the photo), sage, oregano, rosemary, and thyme. I only picked mint as the sage, oregano, rosemary, and thyme in our garden are growing like crazy. Behind the greens you can just barely see the half dozen Egyptian Walking Onions that I brought home as well. One of the farm’s neighbors dropped off a big box of them and the people at Charlestown were nice enough to share.
We’re attempting to grow Egyptian walking onions in our garden this year, but the squirrels apparently really like the bulbs and they dug up and ate the vast majority of what we planted. So I wasn’t expecting to get to try them at all until next year!
We’ll be adding the Asian greens and lettuce to our own greens for salads this week, and I’m planning on trying a variation of tabbouleh with arugula instead of parsley. The strawberries will get eaten long before they’d have a chance to make it into any recipe.
This is known that money can make us free. But what to do if one doesn’t have cash? The only one way is to try to get the mortgage loans or just college loan.
It’s not very important what writing skills you master, just because you would require the supreme themes essays to complete your grades, thus some writing services should sell you custom research papers of high quality.
I love green garlic, so I wish I could try the Egyptian walking onions… I’ll have to keep an eye out in the farmers market. Onions work so well in dishes any time of year. Hope you’ll post a recipe report soon!
