Hello Produce!

On June 7, 2010 · 5 Comments

Last Tuesday started our CSA. Man, oh man are we drowning in produce.

Check it out!

Thank goodness we are splitting our full share with a friend. We have eaten tons of salad this week.

Things I have learned/bonuses:

  • Salad Turnips are fantastic! They are mild and yummy.
  • I can tolerate Radishes.
  • I now know what Bok Choy is and I now have a recipe to use it. (see below)
  • I now own and use a salad spinner. These veggies sure needed a wash. (Sadly I don’t normally wash my produce)
  • D has lost a bit of weight.

Things I have not learned/demerits:

  • How to keep the parsley, chive and basil plants alive. So far they aren’t healthy.
  • How to quit snacking at night.
  • How to keep store the mounds of lettuce we get.
  • How to lose weight myself.

    It really is so great! It works out to be about $12 a week which is nice, and we are all getting healthier. We get another box today 🙂

    i have thought of joining a CSA here, but i think the produce would be too much because i live by myself.

    visiting from 'follow me back tuesdays.' you have a great home. i hope you can visit mine.

    Our CSA also offers half shares, that could be an option… or maybe you could split it like we're doing. I think a half would be a good size, just lots and lots of salad the first few weeks…lol I don't have a link to your blog, could you leave it for me, thanks!
