CSA Week 8

Delivery truck

This week I have bits and pieces of things left…a lil basil, a lil lettuce, a lil cilantro, and a big beet. Thanks to some very special visitors (my parents!) last weekend who not only celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary with me, but also helped to eat some veggies and clear out some major freezer space. They also took some of the zucchini salad home with them…I liked it, but was super happy to share!

I arrived to the pick up a little before 4 PM today and the truck was still there…that didn’t seem like a good sign, but the truck was still there when I left. We did get extra blueberries to make up for no fruit last week, and a watermelon. I feel a little selfish this week because I kept the watermelon and the spelt bread. This week was good timing for me for bread, as I’m actually pretty caught up. But so far spelt is my least favorite of the breads we’ve been getting (eight grain is my favorite!).

I forgot to take a picture of the sign, but I think this is everything:

• Broccoli
• Carrots (6)
• Zucchini, squash, or cucumber (6, mix and match – not surprising I took 3 cucumbers and zero squash for myself)
• Tomatoes (1 pound)
• Lettuce (1 head)
• Kale (1 bunch)
• Corn (6 ears)
• Onion (1)
• Green onions (1 bunch)
• Basil (1/4 pound)
• Herbs (2 bunches – I took chives and oregano)
• Blueberries (2 pints)
• Watermelon
