Another week of veggies, and another Bruins game (game 4). Leftover from week 1, I finished up the green garlic, gilfeather, and radishes in my braising/pickling experiment, as well as the kohlrabi and Hakurei turnips from this week. And here’s how I did this week:
- Kohlrabi: 100%
- Hakurei turnips: 100%
- Spinach: 100% (wilted with olive oil and chopped garlic scape)
- Garlic scape: 100%
- Mixed greens: 100%
- Strawberries: 100%
- Lettuce: 50%
- Red Russian kale: 0%
- Oregano: 0%
- Cilantro: 0% (but it’s de-stemmed)
This week’s goods seem a lot bigger than last year at this time. I got the cabbage this week and my CSA PIC (partner-in-crime) took the endive. The farm seems to have a plethora of lettuce and salad greens – they’ve been advertising (on Facebook) with a “buy one lettuce, get one free” coupon to be used at a farm stand or market. I have some aggressive salad eating to do!

I’m intrigued by the pea tendrils, but really have no idea what to do with them. If I think of something interesting, I’ll be sure to share!
