Good morning
These cold nights as spring approaches always cause me a little worry. While we don't have baby chicks to think about anymore we do have all the hot crops for our greenhouse out there as well as new beds planted in both greenhouses. To lose them would really set us back. There's also the produce ready for market and the CSA baskets in the store to think about before settling down at night. I must admit I feel really guilty in warm pyjamas by the fire as my husbands always tends to these things. The extent of my night duties are checking the nursery a few steps from the house and i still cringe at the 2 seconds of cold i will endure as i dash for the garage door. I bet you Rick would build me a tunnel if he could, awww....such a lucky farm girl I am.
In your baskets this week:
Chez Nous Salad Mix
Kale
Whole Napa with bud
Pea Shoots
Sunflower Shoots
X-tra Greens: Spinach and Swiss Chard
Here's a link to a delicious soup i made this week. ( i used the sunflower seeds) : French lentil stew

| These plants are massive and check out all the buds! The inner core is fully edible. However, the few inches at bottom need to have the outer skin peeled...but so worth it. |
 |
| While we usually bring all the "ugly vegetables" into the house these guys were top notch! They were from the napa we used to make the salad mix. I was struck by the contrast as i saw my husband walking away, the mud and then these lovely Napa flowers. |
 |
| So, so yummy! |
 |
| The nursery is filling up and so the garden greens must go....all in this weeks salad. |
 |
| Spicy Arugula Buds...in the salad mix |
 |
| In next weeks basket, the last Winter CSA basket, should contain Kale Buds.
Have a great week!
