Coming Soon: Weeks 3 & 4

Friday, June 9th, 2006

I expect to have a variety of new head lettuces coming this week including buttercrunch, Cimmaron and a number of different loose leaf lettuces. We will also have a cut, washed and spun salad of the season for another week or two yet.

I had hoped to be able to give out Sugar Snap Peas this week. While we will have some, it appears that the large harvests won’t begin for another week.

For you radish fans, we will have white icicle radishes this week. These are my favorite variety.

I hope to be able to harvest some small zucchini and papaya pear summer squash soon, perhaps we’ll have some Monday.

I plan to harvest bulb fennel this week. The bulbs are a little on the small side but they are a heat sensitive crop and I’m a little concerned that the quality might suffer if I leave them in the ground too long.

We will have our usual extras including: lettuces, spinach, chard, beets and arugula. We will also have extra broccoli for at least the next several weeks. If you don’t know your way there, be sure to ask where the broccoli bed is!
