Farm share, week 4
Jun. 28th, 2006 05:52 pmLots of stuff, though less choice than last week.
The rumor is that the fruit share will become raspberries soon.
It's also a Boston Organics delivery day, a small box, 2/3 veg.
Yay, limes! Somehow I've been much more in a lime mood than lemon, recently.
First thoughts: cold fresh-pea soup, lots of green salad (of course), greens sauteed with roasted garlic, cucumber salad, roasted summer squashes.
- two heads of lettuce (I chose green leaf and what looks like a red Boston lettuce, since I already have some red leaf.)
- 3-4 pickling cucumbers (I took 4; I've been in much more of a cuke mood this year than the last couple of years.)
- 5 summer squashes (I took all zukes.)
- 3-4 handfuls of garlic scapes (It's a lot; I'm thinking of braising a lot of them, and perhaps combining some of that with nectarines, to put on fish or chicken.)
- a bunch of scallions (I chose white, because the greens were nicer than the red.)
- a bunch of chard (I chose colorful ones, since yesterday's share had white chard (much younger than this chard).)
- a small bunch of arugula or cilantro (The former, definitely.)
- a third of a bag (perhaps a third of a pound?) of mesclun
- fruit share: a quart of strawberries
- a half-pint (?) of peas

- a palm of ginger
- two oranges
- four nectarines
