Its basket number three... its soooo yum-my. Goooooooo threebie!

 

And a couple random herbs not pictured (basil, dill)

Some new participants in the season now! Cucumbers and yellow squash join two heads of lettuce, a tatsoi rosette, one (or if you opt for it, two) tufts of spinach, green beans, a green or red onion, and milkweed florets

Here's some great tips on cooking the milkweed florets via a chat thread the group just had:


And, in the comments below, you can see the recipe that Kimberly Mason (one of our lovely sharemembers, and an all-around awesome person) used to make this lovely spinach frittata with sauce and milkweed and fresh salad accompaniment. So rad of you to share this wonderful incorporation of some of the stuff we grow for all of us, Kimberly! =)

"Holy amazing silicone rubber easy-remove spinach frittata-cakes, batman!" 

The only thing missing... a wine refill and a smile a mile wide from a job well done! =)

Coburn Cove basket #1...yum!

We have for your enjoyment: dandelion greens, lemon balm, spinach, two lettuces, one bok choi head, and some green beans!




The two main tips or extra info I had was...

#1 I threw a bunch of ice in the trunk as I unfortunately didn't have my usual cooling setup, and some of the ice ended up directly touching and cold-burning spots here and there on a couple lettuces. I would just rinse blast or finger away under trickling water that dark tissue, and be gone with it... I am sorry for that, and will be smarter about how I use frozen water to help keep things fresh moving forward

#2 -- you may have some thicker stems together with your leaves, in the arugula bag... best thing to do with that is just go through your arugula and give it the tear test so that you can remove the hard parts

Looking forward to next week!
