Farm share, and a chair

[magid]

Week 5

• 1.75 pounds of small purple/red/yellow (Yukon gold) potatoes
  
• a head of lettuce
  
• four pounds of summer squash/zucchini/cucumbers
  
• a head of garlic (with greens, but they're apparently inedible, unlike scapes)
  
• a small head of green/Savoy cabbage
  
• five stalks of snapdragons (in pretty colors)
  
• five sprigs of basil
  
• three sprigs of parsley
  
• a pound of small carrots
  
• a bunch (four) of medium Walla Walla onions with greens

There's pick your own beans (green and yellow), peas, and herbs at the farm. Not that I think I'll be out there again this month.

The newsletter also mentions deals for buying in bulk, such as cukes, zukes, corn, or carrots, for pickling/freezing/juicing. The only price mentioned, however, is for cukes: $15 for 20 pounds, which would be delivered to Central Sq. with the usual farm share. Any cuke-aholics out there? pickle maniacs?


There's a new art chair in Cambridge, a few blocks past Whole Wallet on Putnam St., outbound from Harvard. Unlike most of the rest of them, this one isn't very useful for weary passersby: a slatted seat (no legs) is atop a six-foot stump. Good for passing people on stilts, maybe.

Outdoors, on a grill? Or chopped up into toaster-sized pieces?

That's one of those newfangled crops like pluots, right? They crossed chard with hair?
