In the box this week:
green onions
garlic tops/bulbils
baby fennel
sorrel
dinosaur kale
rainbow Swiss chard
fava beans,
radish pods
snow peas

What do you do with fava beans and radish pods?

Fresh fava beans need to be removed from their pod (the pod is inedible) and here are some recipe ideas: http://www.seasonalchef.com/recipe0506b.htm

Radish pods? The unusual hot weather made all the radishes bolt and go to seed - and the pods are the immature seeds that still have the flavor and heat of the root. Add them to salads, stir-frys, or make a pickle with them. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/08/09/AR2006080900474.html.

CSA [full season] week #2

*Finally* planted the tomato plants in yesterday's cool weather, all 2,000+! Some of the cherry varieties should be ripe by the end of July - but I did plant a few plants a few weeks ago and I'm hoping they ripen a little earlier. Most of the beans, summer squash, cucumbers, and okra are planted and I'm adding little sections of basil(s), camomile, nasturtiums, Swiss chard, daikon radishes, etc, every week.
What strange weather we've been having. It's been a hot and dry streak for a few weeks. I can irrigate for the dry weather but the heat still gets to me despite the low humidity. Even the weeds hold on in the heat of the day!

In the box this week:
mustard greens
Lacinato (Tuscan/Dinosaur) kale
green onions
snow peas
fresh lavender
lemon balm
hardneck garlic
"Zlata" golden radishes (hot/dry weather makes radishes a little hotter!)
French Breakfast radishes
