The first harvests of the year
Sinds April we are going to harvest our vegetables again at our CSA farm. Well some of our vegetables at least.
While I was convinced the field would still be in winter mode with nothing to get early April, I was surprised to get that first mail saying there was plenty to harvest. With some hesitation I went to see and got some good sprouts that survived winter, a big amount of lamb's lettuce that was already in abundance in the greenery and I tried some of the old cabbages that were sprouting. Those sprouts were pretty cool to add some variety in the lettuce! Yummy, that's something you can't get in a supermarket.
It was fun to be back but mostly it seems to be a variety of green leaves to harvest so I needed the supermarket to add some other vegetables to our menu as well. I'm looking forward to the end of Spring and the Summer to go very often and get fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, carrots, etc etc. next to the green leaves.
only the tomatoes were not from the farm! |
