Last Friday, July 3rd, was the third pickup of shares from the organic farm at Cook College. It was, frankly, a little disappointing. The weather had started to improve, but hadn’t been good enough long enough to make that much of a difference in what was available. More kale, more onions, and not a whole lot that was new. One more shot at lemon balm:
And there were more and larger beets.
This past week, however, summer has arrived. It hasn’t been all that warm, but it sure has been sunny and nice. So I drove over to pick up my farm share this morning with rising hope and expectation. And I wasn’t disappointed in the least. There were more onions, and more beets, to be sure.
But for the first time there were leeks
and snow peas
and cabbage
and carrots
and even broccoli.
And I had a lovely broccoli in cheese sauce dish with my dinner tonight!
