Our last picking of asparagus is coming this delivery as the springtime perennial crop seems to be quickly slowing down as the weather switches to summer. So enjoy the last half pound prepared your favorite way, such as roasted or grilled, before the season of eating moves on to other things.
New this week is the kholrabi. Kholrabi is related to cabbage and is best enjoyed eaten raw by peeling the outside skin and slicing or grating for slaw or salads. It can also be cooked and mashed. However, on warm days using it raw keeps the kitchen cool.
We have a nice bag of bok choy again this week. Here’s some interesting nutritional information about bok choy. Just 1 serving (4 oz) provides over 100% daily vitamin requirement of vitamin C, K, and over 90% of vitamin A, 38% folate, and about 25% of the daily value for calcium, vitamin B6, and manganese.

Field Report:
The predicted weeding frenzy has indeed been happening. It’s amazing to see the growth of all the plants out in the fields over the past week. Even though we continue to get rain showers each afternoon (or even again this morning, uggh), we are happy that the water keeps soaking in versus pooling in the fields or washing away. Because we do many things by hand or with hand tools, we are still able to get in the fields on foot and weed by hand. However, we are hoping for a stretch of dry weather to get some mechanical weeding done.
