1. Asparagus 3/4#: Easy Asparagus with soy sauce and sesame
  2. Spring Salad Mix 1#
  3. Onion chives
  4. garlic chives
  5. radishes
  6. Pea vines: stir fried pea vines, pea vine pesto
  7. red rain mustard greens: sautéed mustard greens
  8. eggs

The salad greens are in full force with the abundant moisture. You gotta love the easy salad making for meals!

This week’s box also contains mustard greens and pea vines which can be used for stir fry, sauté mix, or could be chopped and added to fresh salads. If the texture of the pea vines throws you off, you could make pea vine pesto (see link above).

We continue to plant and weed like crazy to keep up with all of the growth of the season. Our first direct seeding of sweet corn did not come up well as the weather was cool and wet, so we replanted last night and are confident that this planting will germinate much better.

With the return of more sun and a little more warmth, our warm season crops will really start to take off. Hopefully the conditions will dry out soon which will also assist in the making of first crop hay.

I was able to venture up to Chetek, WI, for the weekend for our family’s annual fishing trip. The boys continue to stay up north for the rest of the week with my folks in their camper. Ashlan is learning to fillet fish this year as his love for fishing is strong, and my desire to fillet fish is weak. Ethan’s fishing skills have also greatly improved as he is able to rig his own pole and cast  fairly accurately. As long as the fish are biting, or the snacks are plentiful, Ethan enjoys time out on the lake. Ashlan could simply fish all day long and be happy.

Eat Well. Smile Often.

Your Farmer,
