Today was a long harvest day of sorts. It was rainy and cold- slows your hands down when washing produce. But none-the-less our fearless crew has produce for market tomorrow:
- Salad Mix
- Spinach
- Baby Bok Choy
- Spring Florets
- Cauliflower !!!!!
- Carrots
- Chard
- Collards
- Kale
- Leeks
- Parsley
- Radishes
- Tat Soi
- Turnip Tops
And what are turnip tops you might ask? Well, like so many other things this spring, we left turnips from last fall out in the field for the winter just to see what they would do. Would they make it as turnips? Not really. But they did send up awesome shoots that look very similar to Broccoli Raab, but taste oh so sweet. Try’em I think you’ll like’em. They’re just a quick treat for the spring.
We’re also excited to see our overwintered cauliflower pull through. I’d been watching the plants for the past several weeks, knowing that the cauli’s were on their way. The past two days were in the 80′s (which is weird considering it’s going to freeze tonight and it rained most of the day) which boosted them to maturity. Yum!
We’re really hoping for a nice day in Ashland tomorrow. Think warm thoughts.
