Farm share week 16, and Boston Organics

[magid]

Three more weeks, then the winter share starts.

• a head of lettuce (I got a really dark narrow-leafed one)
  
• a bunch of chard or kale (I got lacinato)
  
• a pound of peppers (many colors, mostly not green; some bell, some long types; I got all long red ones)
  
• an eggplant (ranging from Japanese to 'regular' in shape, dark to violet to pale purple in color; I got a small 'regularish' one, partly because my dream last night included that kind)
  
• a pound of carrots
  
• two leeks
  
• a bunch of parsley (flat or curly; not sure why I chose curly)
  
• a pound and a half of sweet potatoes (yay! I got very narrow ones, maximizing surface area to weight)
  
• a butternut squash (big ones)
  
• a third of a pound of spinach and/or arugula (all latter for me; smells amazing)
  
• two purple kohlrabi (the leaves are edible; still have no clue what I'll do with them, though, space vegetables that they are, so suggestions are welcome)
  
• a daikon (regular carrot size)

No tomatoes, no beets, no onions. But otherwise, yum.

Small box, one third fruit.

• a bunch (two stalks) of broccoli
  
• two zucchini
  
• a bunch of mustard greens (MA grown)
  
• four onions
  
• four beets
  
• an acorn squash
  
• sweet potatoes (a pound? a pound and a half?)
  
• white potatoes (a pound and a half? two pounds?)(MA grown)
  
• four oranges
  
• a mango

How do you get through all of this food? I can never seem to keep up with the potatoes, the garlic or the onions.

Two answers:
1. I don't, always. I've thrown away bad experiments, and greens can go fast :-(.
2. Lots of dinner parties.
2a. Overeating...

Some of it I cook and use later, but mostly, I just try to eat far too many veggies.
