This Sunday's Veggie Box

Hello there,

This week I (Doro) get to show you what you get:

Lots of green. The rutabaga greens can be eaten (cooked). The Mizuna flowers are edible also, that's why they are in the box. Some boxes have broccoli, and some have arrugula instead. We packed the baby lettuce in a ziplock, and we would appreciate if you can return it with the box, so we can reuse it.

As last week we had great help from Tarique.

Come on out next Sunday, people! Besides enjoying the sun, the greenery, the company and harvesting your food, there are always unexpected pleasures, such as this:

Enjoy!

What is in your first box? Well, let's see...

Hey everyone,

Neither Jasmine nor Rebekah made it out today for harvest, or I would have had them post about what is in the box. (BTW, Tarique DID come out, and was there early, lending a hand through the whole process -- thanks man!) Take a look at this picture to spot common ingredients in each box:

There are a few substitutions in other boxes, so pay attention if you have strong preferences. Some boxes have mustard greens instead of kale, while others have broccoli flowerstalks instead of arugula. A good example of an 'alternate' box is pictured here:

Finally, some boxes have a third substitution -- a more mild type of green in place of the kale or mustard greens, called 'mizuna.' The leaves look like this:

You should also find a jar of something sweet and special in your box... look out for it, compliments of the garden angel Dorothea :)

Until next week!
Mr. M

H.O.P (Hands on Phillips)

Hands on Phillips? Sometimes you have to just get down and dirty. The seven interns are being taught something valuable. Something they can pass from generations to generations. Being taught skills and qualities that will take them far in life. HARDWORK! DETERMINATION! MANPOWER! Each of the interns have been taught by Mr. M's wisdom. We're thankful that he's teaching us the different aspects of gardening, planting and growing!
