New CSA

Last year's CSA eliminated our usual pick up spot and the next closest was a bit farther than I wanted to drive so we looked into others and found Three Sisters Community Farm which had a pick up location even closer and more convenient than the one last year and it allowed you to pick your items each week.  So far I am quite impressed.  Here are our first three shares:

June 15, 2017

green garlic, asparagus, radishes, mint, peas salad mix, strawberries

July 6, 2017

cucumbers, peas (2 bags), rhubarb, romaine lettuce, swiss chard (2 bunches)

July 13, 2017

cucumbers, carrots, curly kale, endive, escarole, potatoes, hakurei salad turnips, peas, scallions

Spring is here

Almost two weeks ago (February 27, I believe) I heard my first robins and then a few days later I spotted the first one.  That same week, I heard the red wing blackbirds as well and my first spring bulbs poked through.  The first to poke through were a few tulips with reddish stems.  Then my snowdrops poked through.  When we got some snow the next day, they disappeared but today I see that they are back even in the cold weather we are experiencing.

We have had a really mild and warm winter with little snow (other than the time we were gone in December) so I guess it is not surprising things are starting a bit earlier.  I just hope another cold spell and some snow (they are talking 2-4 inches on Monday) doesn't do damage to plants that have poke through a bit too early.
