Farm share, week 1

First farm share delivery! Yay!

I got a farm share from Red Fire Farm again this year. They offered a fruit share, too, which I also got. I was expecting all leaves this week, and I'm pleasantly surprised.

• a bunch of kale or collards (The collards were gone by the time I got there, but there was lacinato kale (my favorite) as well as green curly kale, so I'm happy.)
  
• a head of lettuce or a bunch of radishes (I chose the red leaf lettuce; I'm not a huge radish fan.)
  
• a third of a pound of spinach
  
• a third of a pound of mesclun
  
• a cucumber
  
• a bunch of green garlic (Not garlic scapes, more like ginormous scallions (two feet tall!) that are garlic flavored. They smell lovely.)
  
• a bunch of white (Hakurei?) turnips with greens
  
  
• fruit share: a pint of strawberries

I also got this week's Boston Organics delivery. It's a small box, 2/3 veg. I also switched around my list of never-gets; I took most greens out, assuming I'll get them from the farm share, as well as a couple of other preferences.

• a head of cauliflower
  
• two delicata squashes
  
• two smallish zucchinis
  
• a pint of grape tomatoes
  
• eight smallish Yukon Gold potatoes
  
• two three oranges
  
• two three kiwis
  
• eight ounces of strawberries

I also got a dozen eggs, free-range, organic, and fairly local. They're brown, though, so this is a trial order to see whether there tend to be many blood spots.
