First Share Pickup

The first share from Brooklyn Beet CSA today was not disappointing:

• 1 head red leaf lettuce
  
• 1 head green leaf lettuce
  
• 1 bunch turnips
  
• 1 bunch radishes
  
• 1 bunch carrots
  
• 1 beet root
  
• 1 bunch thyme
  
• 1 bunch parsley
  
• 1 bunch mint
  
• 3/4 pound shell peas
  
• 2 quarts strawberries
  
• 3 apples - need to verify which type! *update: they were mutsu apples
  
• And of course I picked up my share of eggs - 1/2 dozen for now
  

It was interesting to hear how the excessive rain has impacted the spring crops. Let's hope the weather improves for the next few months, but we can't really complain about this haul!

Sydney's 3rd solid food is shaping up to be fresh shell peas! More on that tomorrow, as well as some recipes that include these delicious foods. My thanks, as always, to the wonderful people who organized Brooklyn Beet CSA. And Magdalena, it was very nice to meet you. Some highlights from the food section:
