We have had high winds, rain and cold days but are feeling lucky that we are still able to harvest lots of fresh greens from the field.
Last Tuesday morning we planted the last of the garlic so the official count is 6000 cloves. We would never have achieved this if it had not been for the help of three of our CSA members who helped with this epic task we set ourselves at the end of last year.
We are still digging out root crops from the field and we have a rather full root cellar at the moment! Clearing of the field continues which is making for some very happy pigs and chickens.
Seed catalogs have started to arrive and planning is well under way for the 2016 season.
While the weather continues to be in our favour you will notice a lot more greens again in this week's basket.
This week's vegetable basket:
Potatoes - Parsnip and potato cakes
Onions
Pac Choy - Steamed pac choy
Carrots - These carrots are still coming fresh out of the ground and most of them do not need peeling. Just give them a wash and eat away!
Parsnips - Parsnip puree
Hakurei Turnips - These are fresh and sweet, best eaten raw but you can cook them.
Leeks - Leek and sundried tomato frittata.
Braising Greens
Kale
Bekana - Can be eaten like lettuce, used for wraps or added to stir-fry
Radicchio or Escarole - Chargrilled radicchio
Spinach
