| Salad turnips, beets with their tops, scallions, basil, mesclun, head lettuce, greens (chard in this share), herbs (apple mint in this share), cucumber (some folks got squash), choosing item. Nothing pictured in this share but members could request callaloo, sorrel, or purslane, if they wished. |
It rained last night and some of the greens got very wet! Wash and dry your mesclun as soon as possible. Today would be best. That way it will store for you. Or you could eat a big salad tonight! We are pleased there was mesclun because the lettuce really struggled in the recent hot, dry weather. It's recovered pretty well and more is coming along in the garden.
Don't forget to eat your turnip and beet greens. They are delicious and so good for you. Here's a yummy recipe from our RECIPE BLOG for salad using beets and their greens. Another old favorite is for whole beet borscht from the Laurel's Kitchen cookbook.

Although it is HOT again today and will be this week, we are so grateful the recent rains and cloudy days. It makes is so much easier to plant and harvest and it's easier for young seedlings to thrive. Thank you, Mother Earth.
