Spring CSA #3 2014

Hi everybody!

Late on this one! So busy potting up and trying to stay on top of things....yeah right! Well it's a short one as i want to get out there a little more!

In your basket this week

Asian Greens
Chez Nous Salad Mix
Swiss Chard
Spinach/ Vivid Choi Pac Choy Greens
Mustard Greens

Juicing Upgrade:
 Bag with spinach, Kale, Beet Greens, Mibuna, Swiss Chard and a container of Spring Mix Sprouts

Harvesting monstrueux de viroflay spinach 

This stuff is huge!

Another odd green to be found in your salad mix it's called Herba Stella

Asian Mix  Top to Bottom: Red Frills, Mizuna, Tokyo Bekana, Red Komatsuna, Mibuna and HonTsai tai

Vivid Pac Choy Greens

Some of the flavor add ins to the salad mix this week beet greens, swiss chard, thyme, parsley, sorrel and chive buds ...Spring in a bowl!

What dressing will you be using on your salad?  I have been using a combination of Olive oil, lemon, Ponzu ( sub with tamari or soy sauce, and maple syrup. So good!

This weeks mustard greens when eaten raw are hot, hot , hot but when blanched for 2 min ...ever so tender and green. Lunch over a spread of goat cheese and used as a baked potato topper.

Next weeks baskets will be in the hands of farmer Rick except for the salad mix as I keep a steady pace of potting up tomatoes!

Have a great weekend!
