Winter share, 9 of 11
Feb. 28th, 2024 07:24 pm- four pounds of carrots
- a pound of parsnips
- two pounds of yellow potatoes (Natasha variety, from Sparrow Arc Farm)
- two pounds of purple potatoes (Peter Wilcox variety, also from Sparrow Arc Farm) (weirdbrain wonders why the purple gentleman potatoes get a last name but the lady yellow potatoes don't; clearly, potato sexism is alive and well? :-P )
- a pound of daikon (I chose small ones)
- a package of Mi Terra tortillas (made this morning, but unhechshered, so swapped for more purple potatoes)
- a big bag of spinach (one and a half to two pounds)
- a four-ounce package of broccoli sprouts (from Gill Greenery)
- a four-ounce package of salad mix sprouts (alfalfa, china rose radish, and crimson clover; from Gill Greenery)
First thoughts: I will have to make some interesting salad/sandwiches to use the sprouts. I finished the last of the previous spinach just this morning, so I seem to getting through that fine, adding some here, some there. And the rest are roots that have more flexible timing (I will get through the potatoes just fine, especially once I acquire alliums; I'm backlogged on carrot and daikon, but will make my way through slower, or pickle some).
There are only two distributions left, and because of the leap month, the last won't be even close to Pesach, so I'll have to consider what I want to do for local produce during the holiday.
