magidThis week's haul:
a very large watermelon
a big bunch of bright lights swiss chard
2 heads of lettuce
8 biggish radishes with greens
4 leeks, slender but tall
a medium eggplant
an acorn squash
13 mid-sized carrots
11 tomatoes
And in other CSA news: they might end up not doing delivery next year, just pickup at the farm. I did this the first year, and it was a lot more of a nuisance, since the farm is in a corner of Waltham near Belmont that is pretty much near nothing in particular. It more than doubles my trip home to go there. Though it did mean if there was some pick-your-own stuff, I'd get it, rather than not. The part about this that is annoying is that the weekly newsletter points out that switching to farm pickup only will mean that lots of people will likely be able to get off the waiting list. Why are people on the waiting list better than people who already have shares? I don't understand.
Also, the price will be increasing (by how much, unclear).
For those who had expressed interest in getting a share: contact the farm [781 899 2403] to be put on the waiting list (apparently there are 40 people on the list already). They then take people off the list in February, after current share-holders have a chance to re-up in January, until they fill they number of shares.
Porch update: the mints foster on, and the oregano recovers. The ginger has sent up more shoots (I still don't know what to do with them). The basil remains a bit anemic, while the chives grow with abandon (and are budding again).
