It is about 6 am on Monday and I'm just heading out to the fields to get started. This week we will have peas, carrots, and strawberries in the boxes. Cilantro and zucchini might also be in this week but I have to check the zucchini to see if there is enough.
It is very dry here and many more days of sun in the forecast. I am still planting new crops every week and more time is being spent harvesting now. Vegetables like peas and zucchini take a lot of time to pick. Our first planting of peas took very little effort because the crows picked most of them. The next planting is finally ready in a different field and as of last night the crows have not discovered them. I'll see what today brings.
My communication with the CSA members is sporadic at best this time of year. My communication with just about anyone is not much better. In two weeks from today I have several more employees starting for the summer which will help make my life better; at least that is the thinking.
Selah sent us a recipe last week for the daikon that was in the boxes but we managed to not pass it on. It was a very busy week and I am not very organized. We'll send it today.
Have a good week. ted

small amount of noodles in the middle in the shape of a tube. Leave the
