In the box this week:
radishes
sorrel
mint
green garlic
green onions
nettles
I nearly forgot! I spent so much time working around the flooded fields that I nearly forgot my first CSA delivery of 2011.
It's always a challenge filling the early vegetable boxes, not matter how well I plan. This year I started over 6 weeks ago but had about 4 recent weeks of heavy rainfall, if not every other day, every third day. That meant I couldn't go in and plant succession crops and the plants that were put in on time (kale, Swiss chard, onions, radishes, peas) all showed signs of wear. The peas didn't make it but everything else is starting to take off with receding waters and warmer days.
