Kind of cold here this morning.
Eggs - only 1 dozen small/medium eggs available at the moment - $3.50
More being laid as I type, to judge by the clucking from the coop.
Mesclun - 9 bags - $3.00 each (about 1/4 #)
Spinach - 5 bags - $3.00 each (about 1/2 #)
Radishes - 4 bunches - $1.25 each (about 5.5 oz. including the edible tops)
Kale - 3 bunches - $3.00 each (about 3/4 #)
Red Garnet Mustard greens - 1 big bunch - $3.50 (about 1 #)
Turnip greens - 1 bunch of giant-sized leaves - $3.50 (about 3/4 #)
Joi Choi pak choy - 3 bunches - $3.00 a bunch (about 1#)
I picked some turnips and their tops but I will be eating them myself as a taste test. With the recent hot weather, the Hakarei turnips in the hoophouse bolted. (went to flower) I have learned that the buds and flowers are edible and sometimes used as a substitute for broccoli raab, but until I taste them myself, I don't want to recommend them.
The pak choy is full sized and delicious!
The turnip greens I picked are from special, rare seeds that were given to me last year by a dear friend who lives on the Cape. The turnips are called Eastham turnips and these greens are from a root I set in the ground in the hoophouse as an experiment. They were irresistible so I picked them.
I'll be home all day on this rainy, sunny, frosty day. I am happy to show you the chicks, the hoophouse, the big chickens, etc.
Oh, and if you know someone who might like to buy a farm share, send them my way, please! Or if you know someone who might like to know about this email list, please tell them about it. Thanks.
Cheers,
Laura
