This is our last Spring CSA delivery. Next week begins our Summer CSA schedule. If you are a summer CSA member, weekly deliveries will continue the same day/time as our Spring CSA occurred on Wednesdays. For those summer CSA members that have chosen an every other week delivery, the odd/even week assignments have been emailed out last week and our even/odd week delivery calendar is on our website as a reminder.
If you are searching for a use for your asparagus, I would recommend making some Midwestern guacamole with it. When the asparagus is cooked soft, it mushes into a nearly identical looking and tasting guacamole. We enjoyed a bowl of it served with tacos last night. Even Ethan loved it and he doesn’t even like asparagus, although he wasn’t aware of what the secret ingredient was in the recipe.
Our new item this week is bok choy. Just like kale or swiss chard, bok choy can be prepared several different ways. I’ve included a recipe link above to sauteed bok choy which is the way we usually like it prepared. I usually add ginger and sweet chili sauce to our liking.
Field Report:
The crops are growing very nicely which means the weeds are also starting to come in. So we’ve been vigorously weeding all of the field rows to try to keep ahead of the race. We also planted another 1200 plants yesterday morning including successions of broccoli, storage cabbage, summer squash, and cucumbers. Another little shot of rain would be wonderful, but we are thankful that we have received a weekly dose of rain the last few weeks.
Despite a little attack from some cucumber beetles, the cucurbits (w squash, s squash, cucumbers) are looking nice and deep green and are quickly gaining size after being transplanted out a couple weeks earlier. The neem oil we used last week deterred the cucumber beetles and gave our plants an easier chance to get big enough to not be damaged by the beetles.
Summer CSA starts next week June 18th.
If you would like eggs added to your CSA box, let me know so we can add you to the list. Questions/Egg Requests? Email Heather
