Farm share, week 11
Aug. 16th, 2006 05:36 pmLots of volume, though of fewer varieties.
And the Boston Organics delivery. Small box, partly fruit (really, I should figure out whether it's technically half or a third).
And a dozen eggs. Interestingly, cabbage isn't on the list of what's available this week; I wonder why I didn't get collards, then.
They're officially offering the 5-pound boxes of wild blueberries now, for $25/box. I'm debating whether to get some or not.
- ten potatoes (I got what look like Yukon Golds, not the red-skinned ones.)
- an eggplant (I stuck with one of the regular sorts.)
- two heads of fennel (with feathery tops; anyone have fennel uses?)
- two leeks (young, ie narrow)
- twelve tomatoes (mostly just regular, though there were some yellow not-plum tomatoes, too)
- a melon (I chose a watermelon over a cantaloupe, though I'm not sure whether it's yellow or not; there were two skin types, one mostly dark green, the other striped dark and light green.)
- nine ears of corn
- two peppers (I got green Italian ones; the rest were green bell peppers.)
- a stalk of broccoli
- fruit share: a small (half-pint) punnet of blueberries
- four peaches
