Farm share, week 7
Jul. 26th, 2007 09:51 amTons of stuff!
Also a Boston Organics delivery, small box, one-third fruit.
- a pepper (green or purple; I chose the latter)
- an eggplant ("regular", lighter violet, and a lighter violet that sort of had lobes; I chose the middle kind)
- a head of lettuce (as usual, I went for a red-leafed variety)
- three pickling cucumbers (though I think I saw one that might've been a 'lemon cucumber')
- three squashes (I took all zukes)
- a pound of tomatoes (*happy tomato dance*)
- a quarter-pound of basil
- twelve potatoes
- ten ears of corn (I hadn't realized that both the corn and the green beans were by arrangement with another farm, because corn is hard to grow organically, so someone who specializes in it will have an easier time of it, and the green beans because another farm has a green-bean-picking machine (otherwise, the green beans would have to be pick your own))
- kale or chard (I chose yellow-stemmed chard, since it looked like the kale was all curly leaf)
- a head of garlic (with hard green stem)
- six carrots
- a Walla-Walla onion
Also a Boston Organics delivery, small box, one-third fruit.
- a leek
- a Napa cabbage (MA grown)
- two summer squashes
- eight red onions
- a small bag of green beans (MA grown)
- a bunch of callaloo greens (MA grown; I thought they looked like amaranth, and according to Wikipedia, they probably are)
- four Roma tomatoes
- a mango
- two oranges
- two peaches
- three nectarines
