First farm share pickup

[magid]

I got a share in Red Fire Farm (out in Granby), and today was the first pickup (at Harvest, in Central Square). The loot:

• two heads of lettuce (I chose two heads of red leaf, though there was green leaf, too; I've been preferring the redder greens (though that sounds chromatically challenged, somehow))
  
• a pound of spinach
  
• a bunch of hakurai (sp?) turnips with greens (I ended up with two, actually, since I have yet to appreciate radishes)
  
• a bunch of young garlic with greens
  
• half a pound of mixed salad greens
  
• 15-20 stalks of herbs (chosen from oregano, thyme, dill, parsley, and cilantro; I chose the first three only)

I'm a bit surprised (and pleased) that they already have non-greens. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the season.

In future, the way it'll work is that they'll give the poundage for the week, and I'll get to choose from what's there, which is very cool (allowing the avoidance of cilantro, green peppers, radishes, and the kinds of kale I don't like). But with the season's slow start, this week it was much more descriptive.

Note to self: bring more bags.
