The (almost) first week of June bag is a celebration of green with just enough reds and purples to catch the eye. I’m always amazed at how many hues of green there are in the garden.
We have 10 things this week. Here’s the rundown…
1. Lettuce - a lot of lettuce- it didn’t mind the rain one bit
2. Kale - try roasting it to make kale chips!
3. Radishes
4. Napa cabbage
5. Greens mix
6. Spring onions - our white variety this week - Superstar
7. “Green” garlic - garlic can be eaten at all its phases of growth - this week it’s bulbed out but mostly not quite “papered” between its cloves. Eat like any garlic but it won’t last outside the fridge like cured garlic
8. Greens mix
9. Arugula
10. Turnip greens - new this week and new to us. I actually don’t have that much experience cooking them but the internet is full of recipes. Since the tri-state is halfway the south, maybe some of you have some great recipes. Here’s one that lays out the basics https://southernbite.com/southern-turnip-greens/
And here’s one I might try https://skinnysouthernrecipes.com/easy-skillet-turnip-greens/
The starts are getting pretty old so we’re donating them next week but today they’re half off. (For everyone) (2.50 for tomatoes and 1.00 each for everything else.)
Happy to have the sun back.
