chinese cabbage - making kimchee with the large outer leaves. you guys get the heads. also called napa cabbage. makes good cole slaw.  beets and peas and purslane.........REMEMBER - this pick up is tomorrow - wednesday.  barb and tims b day is thursday and there is a party at the zoo bar where the wondermonz are going to be performing their world premiere concert. 5 - 7 30 thurs. come on down!
looking for some guys to come out to the farm on saturday afternoon for about twenty minutes of heavy lifting.  it would only be a about 20 minutes worth and if we had six guys and it would be not even that heavy.  if we had eight guys it would be like that light as a feather stiff as a board trick. need some strong backs. yes im talking to you james. and augo. and any other young bucks out there. 

csa thurs

 im not sure what is exactly is in csa tomorrow. chard and beet greens for sure. beets and chard are close relatives. be sure to eat the beet greens they taste like apples.   more lettuce - i know it hurts but one more week on the purslane. its a heat lover. ill bring in some because augo is writing an article on purslane - its big money on the west coast and so ill bring some in to sample and will be counting on someone for a good quote becasue if we can get purslane to take off i am rich, bitch.  last thursday csa for a few weeks as we move to wednesdays for the next two weeks. the plot to starve the cabbage moth seems to be working.  i have seen only a few and they look very frustrated and bummed. all the broccollis and cabbage........in the fall.  same with squash/cukes. not that anyone is wandering where the spring squash/cukes are.  i havent seen the squash vine borer but im sure its sitting on a brick somewhere picking its face.

CSA 6.13.13

More Lettuce.  More Kale.  Eat a lot more kale.
New items next week-including purslane!!!!!
Impossible to over-do dill in a salad dressing.
Does anyone understand the sign at the KFC on South Street
"Did you eat the bones?"  I don't. I don't even  get "soft and yummy gizzards."

csa thurs

 i see maybe too much lettuce tomorrow. it comes in all colors and shapes and sizes. there are some weird looking ones.  i think i am going to make a big caesar salad.  people have been asking about the purslane. i think i may be able to pick some next week.  purslane is now all the rage on the west coast. ive been eating a lot of lambs quarters. i should have weeded the spinach and left the lambs quarters. spinach went sideways. i think spinach is only good to grow in the winter/very early spring.
turkey eggs crackin at the farm. hilarious to watch babies trail their mom all over.  about five minutes after i let them out mabel came up to them and was "taken to the woodshed" by the mother. and doesnt even look her way anymore.
