Lettuce, turnips, parsley, peas, radishes, and kale. Two big heads of lettuce today, butter oak and romaine. The first peas of the season, a very sweet snow pea that is totally appropriate for eating out of hand, or tossing in a stir fry. The radishes were hiding in the weeds and got huge.
I’m pretty sure there will be some differences in next Thursdays share as the lettuce and radishes may not hold given the expected warm temps early next week. For the lettuce that might just mean different varieties, and for the radishes I’m not sure what it means yet, we’ll likely find something else hiding in the field and ripening early. It’s also likely that our sugar snap peas will be ready, overlapping with the snow peas. Since we gave out kale last week, collards are more likely next week.
In field work news the planting is slowing down and we’re now spending more time knocking back the weeds. We managed to unbury most of the onions today, as well as a few other things. There are definitely more weeds that need attention so those will keep us busy next week.
