magidThis week, the box wasn't full, but that was because there were a lot fewer leaves and a lot more... solid veggies:
one bunch of Swiss chard :-)
a bunch of baby carrots
a couple of handfuls of small new red potatoes
a big purple eggplant, the regular kind
a narrow light purple Asian kind (with an interesting curl to it...)
one rather unsatisfyingly anemic looking tomato
two green peppers (I don't like green peppers, and forgot to bring them in to foist off on cow orkers)
one red pepper
I already used some of the carrots and potatoes, and the tomato (also the squash from last week's share) in a frittata last night.
Porch update
The oregano is blooming and is basically out of control. Anyone want some fresh oregano? Anyone have experience with infusing vinegars or oils?
One of the mints is also blooming, and I pinched off the flowers on the basil plant.
I ate a handful of tomatoes, and it looks like I must have done something wrong, 'cause it's not growing any more. Ah, well. They were delicious.
The ginger is showing renewed signs of life. Not only are the original two shoots from one chunk growing happily, but the other pieces I planted are also finally showing greenery as well. Rather exciting.
The lemon balm is relatively happy, and the chives are huge, despite me using them in salads and cooked foods rather frequently.
(I suppose it's rather pathetic how happy I get about having locally grown produce, but there you are.)
