Ultimate veggies (and Boston Organics)

[magid]

Last distribution of the regular season (there are four more distributions in the next two months for those with winter shares, unfortunately in the awkward Friday afternoon slot).

• half a pound of mixed salad greens
  
• a bunch of kale (many different kinds) or collards (lacinato kale for me)
  
• a pound and a half of purple-topped turnips
  
• two pounds of potatoes
  
• a bunch of cilantro (given away)
  
• three heads of garlic
  
• a head of green cabbage
  
• two pounds of onions (yellow and/or red; I got some of each)
  
• a butternut squash
  
• a small head of fennel with feathery greens
  
• two daikon

I also picked up the order of bulk veggies a group of us went in on: half a bushel of red potatoes, twenty-five pounds of carrots, a bushel and a half of onions, and a bushel of sweet potatoes. I think I've gotten in my weight-lifting for today...

This is week 19, so it's one week shorter than usual, but on the whole, it was a pretty good share, despite the drought. I just re-upped for next year.

Boston Organics, small box, one third fruit.

• a white acorn squash
  
• a pounds of 'baby' carrots
  
• two medium zucchini
  
• a pint of cherry tomatoes
  
• six smallish yellow onions
  
• five sweet potatoes
  
• a small bag of crimini mushrooms
  
• four plums
  
• a cantaloupe
  
• five oranges
  
• two limes

And a dozen eggs.

I'd planned to nix Boston Organics this week, but I'm glad I have the tomatoes, zukes, and mushrooms. I should've taken carrots, onions, and cantaloupe off the list, though.
