CSA Week 21 - The Last of the Season
/The only left over veggie I had in the crisper from week 20’s share was a bell pepper. That was a very good thing because the last week for the Gorman Produce Farm Community Supported Agriculture was quite a lot:
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 pounds sweet potatoes
- 3 garlic
- 2 baby lettuce
- 1 butternut squash
- 1 bunch kale
- 1 bunch chard
- 1 bunch watermelon radishes
- 4 snack peppers
- 1 bunch turnips
The turnips and watermelon radishes were about the same size. I’m going to cook the green tops too!
The garlic and peppers are pretty enough to be a
centerpiece.
And the lettuce is a melding of gentle green curves.
I am going to miss the weekly trek to the CSA and the bounty of fresh veggies. It is going to take some focused attention when I go grocery shopping next week to buy a similar range of vegetables in the produce section of the grocery store; the CSA has broadened my palate. Now it is up to me to sustain the improved eating habits that have developed over this summer and fall.
