CSA week 4. June 18th, 2012.

In your box this week:

1. NEW! Garlic Scapes.  This is the flower bud and stalk of the garlic plant.  We cut it off so that the plant puts its energy into making bigger bulbs instead of flowers and seeds.  You can use these green stems like garlic!
2. NEW! Kale and Brussel leaves.  We are thinning the plants.  You have some Red Russian Kale (oak leaf shaped) and young Brussel Sprout plants (rounded leaves).  You can use the Brussel leaves just like you would Kale.  I am told by a friend who was stationed in Germany that it is very common to see Brussel leaves for sale there.
3. Kohlrabi
4. Broccoli
5. Radishes
6. Hakurei Turnips
7. Chamomile
8. Garlic Chives
9. Lettuce mixed with Spinach and Lamb’s Quarters.
